On July 28, the 22nd Commonwealth Games began with a spectacular opening ceremony at Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium. Despite COVID-19’s challenges, the Queen’s baton did not miss a single day or territory on its way to Birmingham. The raging bull, which took five months to build and stands 10 metres tall, is pulled along by female chain-makers. We take a look at the glittering CWG 2022 opening ceremony in this photo gallery.
