The Queen’s Baton Relay (QBR) is one of the great traditions of the Commonwealth whereby the Commonwealth nations gather together to celebrate the Games! The QBR is known to be the traditional curtain raiser to the Games!
The QBR 2010 Delhi will showcase India to the world as the baton traverses 70 Commonwealth nations via a 240-day journey, culminating with a 100-day tour of India. The baton started its journey on October 29th, 2009 at Buckingham Palace where Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II handed over the baton to the host nation, India. The baton contains a special message from Her Majesty that will be read at the Opening Ceremony of the XIX Commonwealth Games on October 3, 2010.
