Commonwealth Day (formerly Empire Day) is the annual celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations, since 1977 often held on the second Monday in March. It is marked by an Anglican service in Westminster Abbey, normally attended by the monarch as Head of the Commonwealth along with the Commonwealth Secretary-General and Commonwealth High Commissioners in London. The monarch delivers a broadcast address to the Commonwealth.
One Love playing in the Cathedral is not only symbolic for its meaning or King Charles love for the song, but also for the saxophonist in that less than two centuries ago her ancestors were slaves and would not have had been afforded such opportunity.
Listen to award winning saxophonist YolanDa Brown, who played the song, shares her story
