On every second Monday in March Commonwealth day is marked by the Queen with a Multi-Faith service within Westminster Abbey and is dedicated to celebrating the cultural and economic links between the 54 Nations within the Commonwealth of Nations.
Each year it focuses on a different subject this year is was Opportunity though Enterprise and although this day has an official status the British Public remain unaware of its existence.
