Meet our international Video Journalists

We have a team of video journalists who will be with the Queen's Jubilee Baton every day and filming reports from the countries on the route.

Andy Martin will be touring Canada, the West Indies and the Caribbean. Then Yasmin Khan takes over to cover the Africa stages from Accra to Johannesburg. Following the Baton across Australia, New Zealand and Oceania from Perth to Tonga will be Nikki Mitchell. And the route back to the UK from Brunei to Malta will come under the video lens of Tony Roe.
