Westminster Abbey

Bells on Sunday

Available for over a year

Bells on Sunday comes from Westminster Abbey where the state funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the second will take place . The Abbey has been the site for many Royal funerals since Edward the Confessor in 1066. It was also at The Abbey that the then Princess Elizabeth was married in 1947 and where she was crowned in 1953. The Abbey has ten bells cast in 1971 by the Whitechapel foundry with a tenor bell weighing thirty and a quarter hundredweight tuned to D. We hear the bells ringing Stedman Caters, half muffled at one stroke.
