THE QUEEN'S COMMONWEALTH DAY MESSAGE
The Queen, in her Commonwealth Day message this year, calls on
the peoples of the Commonwealth to live up to the association's ideals
of friendship and understanding.
"No other association of independent nations in the world's history,
she says, "has given such scope for the development of new relationships
between individuals and between governments."
Commonwealth Day is observed every year in Britain and a number
of Commonwealth Countries. It is also the official birthday of Her Majesty.
The Queen's message reads:
"The Commonwealth is not for governments or statesmen
alone. It is for the people, for all the people of the Commonwealth. And the
Commonwealth will be what its people will it to be.
The Commonwealth
