Commonwealth Day 2022 will be celebrated on Monday 14 March 2022 centring around the theme for the forthcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting – 'Delivering a Common Future' – to highlight how the 54 member countries in the Commonwealth family are ‘innovating, connecting and transforming’ to help achieve goals like fighting climate change, promoting good governance and boosting trade.

And, given that 2022 is Her Majesty’s Queen Elisabeth’s Jubilee Year, this year will also focus on the role service plays in the lives of people and communities across the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth Service, at Westminster Abbey - which has been held since 1972 – will celebrate the people and cultures of the widely diverse Commonwealth nations spanning Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific; who are amongst the world’s largest, smallest, richest and poorest countries.

With invited guests set to witness a spectacular ‘Celebration for Commonwealth Day’ service and the Queen's platinum jubilee, this will also be Her Majesty’s first major public appearance since reaching recovering from Covid as she reaches her Platinum Jubilee milestone. The aim of Commonwealth Day is to honour the history and shared values of Commonwealth states. It is a public holiday in a few Commonwealth countries.

A political association of 54 member states, with a combined population of 2.4 billion citizens, almost a third of the world's people, and almost all of which are former colonies of the British Empire, Commonwealth Day falls every year on the second Monday in March. As it continues to serve its people, this year will also be marked with the rest of the royal family in attendance at Westminster Abbey.
