The Baton was shown to the crowd at the Pat Rafter Arena before the men's final, which saw Australia's Nick Kyrigos earn a 6-4, 6-2 win over the United States' Ryan Harrison.

Laver, an 11-time Grand Slam champion, said he was very happy to have been involved in the Relay as the countdown continues to the Commonwealth Games in April.

The 72-year-old, one of eight men's players to win all four Grand Slam tournaments, was joined by fellow former tennis stars Roy Emerson, Ashley Cooper and Mal Anderson.

"The Commonwealth Games has always been a great event here in Australia," Laver said.

"For the four of us to be able to move the Baton around the court before the Harrison and Kyrgios final, well I'm very happy we are involved in it.

"I met The Queen and fortunately for me at Wimbledon, she gave me the trophy in 1969, and now it's like I'm holding her trophy with the Baton."

Tennis fans celebrated as the legends passed the Baton between themselves prior to the final.

The Relay continued to promote and build excitement for the Games, which will take place from April 4 to 15.

Sporting icons are not the only ones to hold the Baton, with it also being a part of a community celebration at North Stradbroke Island.

Aunty Rose Borey, a Quandamooka Traditional Owner and Elder, was among those to carry the Baton at the event.

She was given a guard of honour by a group of life-savers from Point Lookout Surf Life Saving Club as she arrived at Headland Park.

The Elder was joined by Gold Coast 2018 strategic manager Pat Vidgen and Redland City Council Mayor Karen Williams at the celebration.

"It's a very historical and great day for the Quandamooka people and the entire community of Minjerribah, North Stradbroke Island," she said.

"This is an event that brings everyone together and I am honoured to carry the Queen's Baton."

Yulu-Burri-Ba dancers performed a traditional welcome song to bless the Baton as the trio walked around the dance circle, before it was welcomed onto the stage.

The event also featured free entertainment and activities including traditional "bush-tucker" tastings from a local island caterer and a weaving artwork display from the designer of the Gold Coast 2018 medals Delvene Cockatoo-Collins.

An inflatable surf ride with North Stradbroke's local surfing champion Bede Durbidge and a netball workshop with Queensland Firebirds player Jemma Mi Mi were also part of the festivities.

The Baton will return to Redland City on March 31, where it will be carried from Cleveland Lighthouse Reserve to a community celebration at Raby Bay Harbour Park.

Around 3,800 Australians will have carried the Baton at the conclusion of its Australian tour, including 1,800 from Gold Coast's home state Queensland.

It will arrive in the state on March 3, where the Relay will continue until the Opening Ceremony, due to take place on April 4.
