Wildlife enthusiast Len Peters, from Trinidad, who chatted to the Queen during a video call, was the first person to receive the Commonwealth Points of Light award, which recognises outstanding volunteering work by individuals. 'I'm delighted to have heard your stories and I think it's wonderful work that you're all doing, and volunteering so much. During the video call, the Queen experienced her first virtual musical performance, when 45 children performed in celebration of her recent 73rd wedding anniversary. Also during the call, fellow Commonwealth Points of Light recipient Ruy Santos, from Mozambique, took the Queen on a virtual tour of Makobo, a collaborative work space he founded in 2009 to promote nutrition, education and youth employment.
