Commonwealth Day in 2010 falls on Monday 8 March. Increasingly, there is a move to extend the theme into a series of events taking place throughout the year across London and the UK, and mirrored in all capitals and countries of the 54 countries of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth Day theme for 2010 is Science, Technology and Society. It will be celebrated not only at the traditional Westminster Abbey Observance Ceremony on Commonwealth Day itself, attended by the Head of the Commonwealth, Her Majesty The Queen, but also through public lectures, debates, museum displays, theatrical and musical events, and educational activities taking place during the rest of the week and throughout the year.
