The chimes of Big Ben

(There is no dialogue in this video) This is the bell in Parliament's Clock Tower (Big Ben). The bell at the centre of this film is called Big Ben. There are two possible explanations for the bell's name:
- It could have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the First Commissioner of Works, who was a tall man and known in the House of Commons as Big Ben.
- It may have been named after a champion heavyweight boxer of the time called Ben Caunt. He fought his last fight in 1857 when it was being decided what to call the bell.

Big Ben is the sound of London. Old, glorious sounding, beautiful landmark of Western civilization. He's been ringing in the hours for London since the days of Queen Victoria, and he is magnificent. God preserve Britain.

[@mikegallant811]

For those of you who are unaware,the notional words of the chimes are All through this hour,Lord be my guide,And by thy power,No foot shall slide.

Translation from Bellish to English: The time is now 12:00 PM.

[@britainluver431]

+Red Door Productions 12:00 and all's well.

[@gyrocompa]

Al right, but is it 12:00when the first bell starts ringing, when Big Ben starts or at the 12th stroke of Big Ben ? Let's be precise, please !

[@yoonjins_sweetiepie]

Red Door Productions bellish? I didn’t know that bellish was a language!

[@callum110597]

I always love listening to those chimes (though I'll have to put up with spending four years without the chimes sounding during the 2017-2021 restoration, which to remind you is because of the workers having to work around the bells while they need to hear their conversations and not damage their hearing from the loud chimes, but the chimes will still be used for important events like Remembrance Sunday and the New Year). Big Ben is one of my most favourite landmarks in the world!

[@fay-amieaspen6046]

Great to see the Great Bell itself being struck. The largest bell and the most famous ever cast by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Shame they've closed the door on their original location but great that due to the Grade II listing that the building itself cannot be destroyed or modified to modernise it, so it beautifully maintains its original appearance and prominence as befits the oldest English business in existence. Blessings and Chimes, upon the Foundry and it's history!

[@josiahguthrie1805]

Sadly Big Ben is under renovations and maintenance and won't chime again until late 2020 to early 2021. The bells will only chime on national holidays until the work is complete.

@@plutolunaplays It's true, and there is no shortage of news covering it. No reason to be a cringy edge-lord about it.

Royce551 i guess he's denying that Big Ben won't chime again until 2020-2021 yet it's 2019 we can wait 2 more years

[@lukescott8438]

The same bell over and over again kinda gives me chills.

#OnThisDay in 1859 #BigBen chimed for the first time. Its success was short-lived as in September 1859, the bell cracked and Big Ben was silent for four years

Andrew M big ben won't be silent for the whole of the refurbishment. It will only be silent for several months, while they repair the clock mechanism.

Magnificent bell & clock tower

[@RabuHina]

Everytime I hear the bell toll: I think the cliche foggy streets of London. Camera as a close-up of Big Ben and then it slowly pulls back as the bells toll to reveal a haunting but beautifully foggy night of London. Also, if they do give tours of that place, I can only imagine how loud it is even with earplugs XD

[@edwindanielvalenzuelaavila1237]

Hola soy de México y admiro mucho a Inglaterra y a su reína y la maravilla arquitectonica del big ben es una de las mas famosas del mundo mis respetos y mis felicitaciones a inglaterra

[@joymaster2006]

Dear Publisher..... You are WRONG! Only the bell is called...."Big Ben". The tower is called. "St. Elizabeth Tower"

[@CurtisLittlechild92]

Marcus Meisters people say big ben, to refer to the tower as a whole. How do people not understand this?

[@janselkennethtolentino8269]

Nerd With Attitude Yeah. Quite similar to rockets. Sometimes the payload's name is used to refer to the whole rocket. Like Soyuz or Vostok...

It was founded in the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1858, but had the first chime in 1859

[@legostarwarsheadquarters3708]

Big Ben is the Great bells name hung inside the belfry of Elizabeth tower and above the clock faces and clock called the Great Westminster Clock.

The clock tower's bell on my campus sounds a bit like that. It hasn't chimed for a few years now and I miss it. Maybe it needed repairs but it wouldn't take nearly as long to repair that as it would Big Ben.

[@CurtisLittlechild92]

Serasia Big ben is going to be repaired next year. At the cost of £29 Million. And will take a couple years, I believe.
