Queen’s Baton Relay reaches The British Motor Museum

22nd July 2022

Carrying The Baton today, 22nd July, were (left to right) Abagail Vincent, Letitia Cowley & Jenny Waggott.

An exciting morning at The British Motor Museum as the Birmingham 2022 Queen’s Baton Relay arrived today, 22nd July 2022…

They tell us:

Abigail Vincent carries the baton.

Over 500 spectators lined the Museum’s main driveway to watch the baton arrive. It was accompanied by the Queen’s 1953 Royal Ceremonial Land Rover from the museum’s collection. This vehicle was part of fleet used by the Queen and Prince Philip on a six-month Commonwealth tour soon after the coronation. There was also a special Gaydon Gathering of 200 British classics which spectators could view whilst the Baton entourage went into the Museum for a private demonstration of STEM activities by the Museum’s Learning team and the STEM ambassadors from MOD Kineton.
