On Sunday at 5pm, the ceremony preceding the 22nd Commonwealth Games in Birmingham later this year will begin its journey through the Liverpool City Region following a tour of the 68 countries of the commonwealth. The visit to Knowsley on Sunday, then Liverpool on Monday is part of the 16th official Queen’s Baton Relay which began on June 2.
The Baton will be met at Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park where the Batonbearers will be welcomed by a troupe of more than 100 Girl Guides from across Merseyside, forming a guard of honour as they make their way into the park.
