LAST Friday (July 22) the Birmingham 2022 Queens Baton Relay visited the British Motor Museum, with over 500 spectators lining the Museum’s main driveway to watch.

The baton 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.
