In previous years, the Head of the Commonwealth’s address had been presented the weekend before Commonwealth Day.
King Charles III took to the pulpit to deliver his address which the Palace had shared hours earlier with the Abbey and broadcasters. At this year’s service, I have to admit that, even with all our radio experience, there was little space for additional commentary in the fast-moving delivery of readings, affirmations and, for the first time, a live Abbey address from the Head of the Commonwealth. As website editor of the Commonwealth Round Table, I’m often invited to take part in the BBC World Service coverage of the Westminster Abbey Service and I have served as “presenter’s friend” to veteran broadcasters including Jonathan Dimbleby and, most recently, Eleanor Oldroyd. The annual Service of celebration for the Commonwealth at Westminster Abbey delivered a line-up of young performers in a pacey event. Ģ023 is the flagship Year of Youth for the Commonwealth and this theme ran through the events on Commonwealth Day on 14 March. Saxophonist YolanDa Brown performs Bob Marley's 'Is this love' at WEstminster Abbey.
