BORIS Johnson, Mayor of London, inspects the Queen's Baton as it reaches London on its journey through England to the Glasgow Commonwealth Grames.
The baton will arrive in Scotland next Saturday and tour the country before arriving in Glasgow on July 20 in the lead up to the July 23 opening ceremony.
Yesterday, it was announced the chief executive of this year's Games has been appointed head of the whole movement.
David Grevemberg will take up the post of chief executive of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) in November. He will take over from Mike Hooper, who has been in the post for 14 years at the CGF, which is responsible for the direction and control of the Games.
Mr Grevemberg, 41, has been chief executive of Glasgow 2014 since 2011, having previously been the organising committee's director of operations, and chief operating officer.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
