‘A sustainable and peaceful common future’. Commonwealth Day
Today is Commonwealth Day, when the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations celebrate their past and present and show their commitment to fostering a better future. Every year to mark the occasion, the British royal family attends a service at Westminster Abbey. The holiday’s roots go back to 1904, when Reginald Brabazon, 12th Earl of Meath introduced Empire Day to honor Queen Victoria. Today more than 2 million people that make up the Commonwealth celebrate annually on the second Monday of March.
