Following presentations and speeches and a welcome by the Lord Mayor Cllr Bev Mullaney, the assembled crowd gathered at the cenotaph for the unveiling, which included prayers, with The Lord's Prayer led by the Rt Revd Dr Toby Howarth, Bishop of Bradford.

The monument honours the contributions and sacrifices of troops from Commonwealth nations who fought in both World War One and World War Two and the inscription reads:

"The Bradford Commonwealth war memorial stands as a poignant testament to soldiers from across Commonwealth countries, who united in the pursuit of peace and freedom. By recognising and remembering them, we will continue to strengthen our shared values and commitment to building a better world."
