00:00The design for the King's Baton Relay has been revealed by the Trinidad and Tobago Commonwealth

00:06Games Association.

00:09The baton was designed by renowned creative art director Kenneth Henry, while the artwork

00:13was drawn up by artist and former national cyclist Michael Phillips.

00:17It is expected that the baton will pass through locations in TNT before it heads to Scotland.

00:23British High Commissioner John Dean says the baton symbolises the spirit of TNT and the

00:28Commonwealth.

00:31What better way to do that were by bringing together the first baton in the King's Baton

00:37Relay which is actually departing from here in Trinidad and Tobago.

00:43It's 500 days of relay, it's one of the longest relays that we've seen and the Trinidad and

00:49Tobago baton is leading off the race.

00:53The race is all about sustainability, it's about innovation, it's about the future and

00:58the baton that Trinidad and Tobago has put together here is beautiful, it's designed

01:02with all of the features and elements that Trinidad and Tobago is proud of and I think

01:10it really does capture that spirit of the Commonwealth.
