The Valletta Commonwealth Walkway, inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth on Saturday, links 21 historic sites connected with the British Empire. It is the first of its sort outside the United Kingdom.

Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis said the walkway is aimed to unite people, celebrate the Commonwealth history and serve to honour the Queen.

The walkway was made possible through the Outdoor Trust, a British-based company which promotes activities related to tourism.

The route is marked with 21 bronze plaques at each and every venue.
