Perry (mascot)

His skin is emblazoned with multicoloured hexagons, to represent equality, diversity and the strength of the Commonwealth family.

[1] The design was inspired by Emma Lou, a ten-year-old girl who won a national competition in 2020.

[5] The competition was launched by a former Olympic athlete and gold medal winner, Denise Lewis.

[6] Emma received lavish praise for creating "the perfect Games mascot for celebrations across the city, the country and the Commonwealth".

[7] The costumed version of the mascot was engaged in outreach in the run-up to the games, such as on a visit to Wilson Stuart School in Perry Common,[8] House of Commons[9] and a visit to 10 Downing Street where he was accused of photobombing a Sky News report on the day of a confidence vote in Conservative leader Boris Johnson.
