- The heavy rain ceased after roughly five minutes, permitting celebrations to proceed, after which the King and Queen met four West Indies cricketing knights: Sir Viv Richards, Sir Richie Richardson, Sir Andy Roberts, and Sir Curtly Ambrose.
- Ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua, King Charles has recognized the "great suffering of the past" regarding slavery and confirmed the summit would address the transatlantic slave trade's legacy.
