On Sunday 3rd July, the Tigers Army Parachute Display Team will kick off the Swansea section – and the final Wales leg – of the Birmingham 2022 Queen’s Baton Relay, parachuting in with the baton itself! The baton will then be handed off and on to the rest of the relay before returning to England and culminating at the Opening Ceremony for Birmingham 2022 on 28 July 2022.
The planned schedule of activity for the Baton’s July 3 arrival in Swansea includes:
Arrival via parachute drop with the Tigers Army Parachute Display Team – weather permitting
Baton relay westbound along a short length of the prom then eastbound along the beach to the Civic centre area.
Members of the public are encouraged to get involved with the celebrations and embrace the arrival of the Baton, taking the opportunity to experience the buzz of Birmingham 2022 in their community.
