The King’s Baton was carried up the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral before a traditional pikemen procession admitted it into the city through the historic Temple Bar. Pickleball popped up in New Street Square and Panna football players went head-to-head at The Crescent outside Tower Suites by Blue Orchid Hospitality, and 3×3 basketball at Paternoster Square gave the Commonwealth Games Gold Medallists a homecoming to remember. Late summer brought pickleball and jumbo volleyball to Guildhall Yard, and the season closed with breaking a CPR World Record, where thousands came together over two days to learn the skills that save lives.
