Today I proudly get to carry the Queen’s Baton in Hamilton as it spends the day passing through South Lanarkshire. It has been many months since I was nominated for this great honour and I’ve been getting more and more excited as today got closer and closer.  I will be so proud to carry the baton as the Commonwealth Games comes to my home town of Glasgow and to represent all the pupils, and their families, who have attended Hallside Primary and all of the boys and girls who have taken part in events I’ve organised for the whole community in my time here.

Thank you once again for the nomination, it means so much to me, and I hope to wave to as many of you as I can today if you are there.

Thank you.

Mr B

Queen’s Batonbearer 2014

(Some of the pupils asked me to put a reminder of where it will be on here:  Bothwell Road, Hamilton.  Just along from Hamilton Racecourse, I start my leg of the relay just along from the Powerleague 5-a-sides, at 6.23pm)
