The Queens Baton Relay 2010 Delhi concluded the Opening Ceremony of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 in Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium where the last batonbearer Vijender Singh handed over the baton to His Royal Highness Prince Charles. Then read the message from the Queen to the athletes that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was placed in 2010 Queen's Baton in New Delhi that began its journey to the 71 nations and territories of the Community at Buckingham Palace in October 2009. The witness was riding an impressive 1,90,000 km before reaching the host country in June 2010. Once in India, 20,000 kilometer traveled throughout the country before reaching their final destination New Delhi on September 30, 2010.
Reproduced below is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Message to athletes:
"A little less than a year, Buckingham Palace, I put this message in the Baton which then began its long journey to the opening ceremony of the 19 th Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. On his way, that was worn by relay runners through the territories of the Community as an invitation to participate in these Games.
"It is particularly appropriate for the Commonwealth Games in 2010 will be held in India. Recently, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of London, when the Independence of India brought to the existence of the modern Commonwealth. Since then, has grown from eight members to its current membership of 53, represented here today by the 71 Commonwealth nations and territories participating in these Games. I firmly believe that when countries can compete in sports together like this, which serves as an inspiration for all nations to work for peace throughout the world.
"These Games, with its festival of sport and culture, the youth of the community would not be possible without the efforts of many people in India and beyond, and without the participation of many teams, the dedication of so many athletes, and the voluntary participation of many officials. To them all, and all the spectators, I send my best wishes for what we hope will be an unforgettable experience. "I have much pleasure in declaring on 19 open Commonwealth Games . Elizabeth R
