About Queens Baton

RelayThe Queen's Baton relay began when the baton, which contains QueenElizabeth's message to the athletes, left Buckingham Palace on 29 October2009. The Baton arrived at the 2010 Games opening ceremony on 3October 2010, after visiting the other 70 nations of the Commonwealth and

travelling throughout India, reaching millions of people to join in thecelebrations for the Games.

The Baton was designed by Michael Foley, a graduate of the NationalInstitute of Design. It is a triangular section of aluminium twisted into ahelix shape and then coated with coloured soils collected from all regionsof India. The coloured soils are a first for the styling of a Queen's Baton. A

The Queen's baton is ergonomically contoured forease of use. It is 664 millimeters high, 34 millimeters wide at the base, and86 millimeters wide at the top and weighs 1,900 grams.
