My father is one of the lay clerks in the choir - it is an absolute joy to see him! Thank you so much!

My Birth Year, 4 months old when televised, thanks for posting I enjoyed immensely.

But definitely not the bells of the Cathedral for ithas but a ring of five in a minor key hung for stationary chiming.

Already running on fumes with this sort of thing, but clever and enjoyable nonetheless! Thank you.
