Phoebe Coles carried the Cypriot flag during the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on March 11.
The British Cypriot young woman was chosen to represent the country during the ceremony which marked the 75th anniversary of the Commonwealth.
In the past, Coles was honoured at the Global Youth Awards in London for her humanitarian work, fundraising, and advocacy.
As founder and director of the voluntary humanitarian group ‘Vicinus’, she organises education initiatives, fundraising projects, and advocacy campaigns related to human rights and humanitarian topics in Cyprus. Her work particularly focuses on women, youth, refugee and migrant rights and empowerment.
Thank you so much @CyprusInUK @RoyalCWSociety for this incredible opportunity ❤️🇨🇾
