Big Ben chimes for last time in 4 years before falling silent for repairs - BBC News
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Big Ben has fallen silent for major repair work expected to last until 2021.
The midday bongs were the last regular chimes from the famous bell until the repairs to its surrounding tower are complete.
It will still be used for special occasions including New Year's Eve and Remembrance Sunday.
The decision to switch it off to protect workers' hearing has sparked a lively debate about the timescale.
Prime Minister Theresa May has said "it can't be right" that the famous bongs will not be heard again until 2021 and has asked for the proposals to be reviewed.

He's just going on long service leave. It's been 173 years, the clock has earnt it.
TheGogobooty It's clock. Unlike the WASPY women who are having their pensions withheld.
TheGogobooty 173? The clock's only 158 years old...
Moody Patootie only 158
TheGogobooty It's 158 and earnt is not a word
TheGogobooty earnt
Interesting fact for you if you didn’t already know, Big Ben’s chimes actually has lyrics:
“All through this hour,
Lord be my guide, and through thy power,
No foot shall slide”
Never knew that
Big Bens chime is the same type of ring theme as my doorbell so my doorbell has lyrics apparently lol
I just learned more from this comment than All my years of school combined.
Super X 07 😂😂👍
Cool
why is everyone turning this into politics, it literally just needs repairs, it's and old clock
Coin Slot ikr
Coin Slot oh hi coin slot
Welcome to the RUclips comments section, where people will debate politics over a cat video.
because bigoted old people only know this youtube channel as being the only thing on the internet so this is what they all flock to
George Ericksen oh my that happened to me once. Terrible, it was
In 1910, Big Ben chimed 68 times to honour each year of Edward VII
In 1936, Big Ben chimed 70 times to honour each year of George V
In 1952, Big Ben chimed 52 times to honour each year of George VI
In 2022, Big Ben will chime literally 96+ times to honour Elizabeth II. Eh, it doesn’t matter Big Ben did not chime for the last 4 years so that would compensate
RIP the Queen, I guess we’ll hear 96 chimes
actually she will never die
Bold of you to assume it’s going to happen in the 2020s. More like the 5380s.
maybe the chimes are keeping them alive!
Doubtful. ImmortaliTEA is some strong shit.
When Big Ben is fixed they will chime over infinity times since the queen will die at the end of time therefore Big Ben is the last landmark left
When Big Ben starts again it'll annoy the piss out of everyone who got used to it being quiet.

So when I visit London for the first time I won't be hearing this chime 🙁
well can you wait 4 years...?
Touc World would probably be annihilated by nuclear war by then. :(
Rohit Eligeti Its not like you can hear it anywhere in London anyway. You have to near that area to hear it.

You will be hearing only British Bullshits lol

THATS WHY I HAVENT BEEN CALLED TO DO A EPISODE FOR A WHILE
4 years to fix a clock
Alright then.
sibiris you'd be surprised at the size of the batteries and the cost for postage.
sibiris Do it earlier if you can m8
It's a 173 year old clock the size of a building with old parts that need replaced, it's not just "Let's put some new batteries in it hurr durr" imbicile
sibiris all I have to do is change the battery but the hard bit is putting it on the wall ,you when you can't find the nail
the liberty bell in philadelphia cant even be fixed, big ben is lucky lmao
Why the hell am I crying to such a beautiful sound?? I’m not even British!
I could be though... I’m not fully aware of my ancestors.
I love that you appreciate how iconic this sound is. I'm really quite proud of the clock tower and its belfry.
I’m not particularly nationalist, but the reason I like Big Ben and hearing it every time BBC does news bulletins is that it makes me feel connected to my ancestors. Like, that’s the exact same sound that my great grandparents would have heard. It’s something constant, and there’s a weird amount of comfort in that
Do you like tea?

Probably got some British in you. We spread out pretty far.

I love those chimes. I used to listen to them while listening to the radio at night, here in Brazil. I've always dreamt of visiting London since I was just a teenager struggling to learn this language I love so much. God save the Queen.

I've always loved the little tune that plays before the hour mark bongs.
Koineee DUN dun DUN duuuun dun dun dun dun
Westminster chimes which is on most clocks that play a chime before it strikes the hour
Koineee *BING BONG BING BONG, BING BONG BING BONG!*
hum hum hum humm.... hum hum hum hum!
Wow 173 years the guy deserves a break btw the title doesn't make sense lol
Makes perfect sense (that could just be because I’m a grammar nazi but still)
Its a clock
Scp 173
basically what it means is that it wont chime again for another 4 years until its repaired
this was 2 years ago i-
Is it me or does that title make no sense?
Hallows Eve the title makes perfect sense, it's you.
Hallows Eve Yeah. The "4 years" part should've been at the end.
Hallows Eve it's just you.
Home Guard No it's not.
If you don't see what's wrong with the title then you really need to learn how to speak again. The title makes more sense the way it currently is.

So it wasn’t a Rick roll
I don't even live in London, but I don't know why this makes me sad.
