[Royal Commonwealth Society @RoyalCWSociety]

🌍✨ One week on from Commonwealth Day 2026, we’re still reflecting on the powerful moments shared at Westminster Abbey.

The Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration, delivered by the Royal Commonwealth Society, brought together voices from across the Commonwealth to honour our shared values, unity and collaboration. Through music, readings and inspiring speeches, the service celebrated the strength and diversity of the Commonwealth community.

One of the standout moments was the moving performance of Home by Birmingham artists Indigo Marshall and Tarju Le’Sano. 🎶 Their heartfelt performance captured the spirit of belonging and togetherness at the heart of the Commonwealth.

Stay tuned for more videos from the #CommonwealthDay Service of Celebration 2026⭐
