Other changes included relocating the main event to the smaller John Mackintosh Square from Grand Casemates Square, appointing the Mayor of Gibraltar to conduct the main event rather than any political leader, the presentation of the Gibraltar Medallion of Honour and the reading of the Gibraltar National Day Declaration.
Andre ændringer gik ud på at flytte hovedarrangementet tilbage fra Grand Casemates Square til den mindre John Mackintosh Square, at udpege Gibraltars borgmester til at stå i spidsen for arrangementet frem for en politiker, og desuden skulle Gibraltars æresmedalje uddeles og nationaldagserklæringen skulle læses op.
