Today the bells were muffled and joined others across the country in being rung for an hour from 12 noon following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. They will remain muffled and rung for the hour preceding her state funeral. Although bells are half muffled for Remembrance Sunday, they are only fully muffled for the death of a monarch. Those ringing had also never heard fully muffled bells before - you will hear the tenor bell is only half muffled so comes through more strongly on every other stroke. |
