Different VLBI solutions of celestial pole offsets (CPO) are used to determine parameters (period T and Q-factor) of Free Core Nutation (FCN). To this end, Brzezinski's broad-band Liouville equations are numerically integrated to account for geophysical excitations. Effects of the atmosphere, oceans and geomagnetic jerks (GMJ) are considered. Best-fitting values of FCN parameters are found by least-squares fit to observed CPO, corrected for the difference between the FCN parameters used in IAU 2000 model of nutation and newly estimated ones, MHB transfer function is used to compute these corrections. Out of all 42 solutions that we made the best fit is obtained for CPO from IERS C04, with only GMJ excitations considered. Estimated values of FCN parameters from this solution are T=430.23±0.03, Q=19600±130. Very probably, excitations of FCN by GMJ are more important than those by the atmosphere and oceans.
