THE Queen’s Baton Relay started on Commonweal­th Day, March 13, 2017, at Buckingham Palace when Her Majesty placed her message inside the 2018 baton. A journey across Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania has made the relay the longest and most accessible in history, travelling through the entire Commonweal­th for 388 days and 230,000km. Its arrival at the Opening Ceremony on April 4 in the presence of HRH The Prince of Wales will herald the start of the greatest sporting event ever hosted by the Gold Coast.
