The Queen's Baton will visit the Isle of Man next June ahead of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
The Commonwealth Games Association has announced that the baton's tour will include the Island on June 16th.
The Queen will write a message to the Commonwealth which will be placed inside the baton for its journey.
It was designed and created in the West Midlands and features a platinum strand along its length to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year in 2022.
The baton also features technology including a 360-degree camera to record and transmit stories from across the Commonwealth, and atmospheric sensors to analyse each country's environmental conditions.
A heart rate monitor will display the heartbeats of baton carriers, and LED lights will change colour when two people hold it together.
