What is Commonwealth Day?
Every year, on the second Monday in March, 54 countries join together in celebration of the links they share as members of one diverse and dynamic global family – the modern Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth Day Observance is the UK’s largest multi-faith celebration, and is attended by Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prime Minister, High Commissioners and up to 200 other VIPs. And that still leaves room in the Abbey for more than 1,000 young people.
In 2012 the theme for the Observance will be ‘Connecting Cultures’. Through a thrilling mix of world music, dance and personal testimonies, this event will explore the golden threads that tie together people from every continent, faith and ethnicity.
