Commonwealth Nations Flag of Peace

13th March 2023 marks the tenth anniversary of the signing of theCommonwealth Charter by our late Queen Elizabeth II, one of the most important documents in the long history of this family of nations.

The Charter sets out the values and aspirations that unite the Commonwealth’s 56 independent countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific, and the 2.5 billion people who live there.

To commemorate the occasion in the UK, a 90” x 54” The Commonwealth of Nations’ Flag of Peace featuring a white dove of peace in the bottom right hand corner will be sent to every City within the United Kingdom, (free of charge) the raising of which at 11am on Monday 13th March - Commonwealth Day 2023, will symbolise the UK’s commitment to the shared values and principals of the Commonwealth, including co-operation in economic and social development, diversity, respect, friendship and the promotion of peace around the world.

Starting at 10.30am, the ceremony around the raising of the flag at 11am that morning will form part of a brief Ceremony in each city on 13th March 2023.
