It was amazing when the bells started ringing. They only give a full peal on important royal or national occasions. It was a really special thing to listen to.
A few days ago I met one of the ringers who was actually rang for the Royal Wedding, he'll be on one of the bells in this very video. He has a piece of their cake :)
These bells have your sound incredible as singing a song, are very beautiful, because these bells are the more sensationals and fantastics of the world. Thanks United Kingdom of the Great Britain for this prize.
Esas campanas si son buenas y chidas, giran rápido y a la vez se detienen, me dejan muy contento y muy inspirado, son las mejores que he escuchado en toda mi vida. ARRIBA WESTMINSTER.
Las campanas de Westminster del Reino Unido de la Gran Bretaña, si suenan a fiesta, y no a velorio como las españolas, suenan padrísimo, que parecería una canción de bodas, felicidades a los británicos.
I´d love this beautiful bells, because is very nice learning this beautiful song, por eso, me encantan esas campanas, suenan como ángeles, thank you for this present.
This Moment: I'm the First time in London and heared this. The very best welcome. Thank you so much for everything my beloved United Kingdom. 💂💓🇬🇧🤝🇩🇪💓💂 Merry Christmas and a Happy new year ☃️🎄🎉
The bells of Westminster Abbey should be ring again when Corona is defeated. Wish you all a very, very warm: Stay healthy. Together we are strong and we will do it. 💪🌎🤝🇩🇪💪
The last time I remember hearing those bells was on the day of Princess Diana's funeral......to hear them here at such a happy occasion was welcome indeed....
Karen Catizone oh, so it WAS the same peal after both occasions. (I have been racking my brains trying to figure out.) There was so much cheering after the wedding (naturally), and since I am hard of hearing, I couldn't hear the whole peal, just a couple of notes at a time. No, I wasn't there, I watched in on "telly" Yes I am an American Anglophile. Thanks to Diana. And then thirteen years later, the music of Sir David Willcocks and the Choir of King's College Cambridge. I can't fly (bloody ear canals hurt) but if I could, I would have visited England with my family for 1) both of the Royal weddings 2) and Diana's funeral, 3) and to see the KCC perform, 4) and to look at RVW's house.

The Pharaoh My sentiments exactly! By the way, I💚 love drawn-out vowels,💚 such as the way you said, "uuuuuh". It is cute😊. Oooops, I mean "Iiiitt iiiis cuuute." 😊The bells said: "😃Riiing, riiing, riiing, riiing!" Not "ring" but "riiing"😃 Are you familiar with the hymn tune FOREST GREEN by Rafe Vaughan Williams? I love Forest Green. Oooops, let me rephrase that: I😃😄😅😆 loooove Fooooreeest Greeeeen😃😄😅😆 I play it on my pretend organ (my keyboard) several times a day.
@ajrawlinson1 I think this must have been the peal of Spliced Bristol/London Royal!! They rang about 1000 changes of Stedman before the wedding, and a peal of about 5040 changes (though possibly more!!) afterwards.
@barbara5706 Peals have been rung where they have taken turns but that was when they were ringing for 27 hours. In 3 hour peals they do not as they are considered to be of short length.
@eSharkuk As a bellringer, I can promise you this was rung by a band of bellringers. They will literally have been in the ringing chamber together, for hours, ringing this 'song' (called a method - Steadman I believe)
@eSharkuk It takes one human being for each individual bell. Ringing changes is incredibly complex to a non-ringer, but there's no sound more beautiful anywhere within hearing range.
@rt18uk No, the tenor is playing, this would have been the Spliced London & Bristol after the wedding!!! Would love to come and ring here, maybe one day...
Definitely rung by an experienced team of change ringers who are situated way below the bells. A complete change of ringing can last for a very long period of time!
Loved these bells and the base notes of the organ below. Well done! Would love to see these in action for real, very much different from our carillon in Cobh. It takes one person to play our 49 bells, but it takes a much larger commitment from many more people to play your bells. Superb!
Fco Javier I am not fluent in Spanish but I recognized the word "recuerda". I say "I remember that" in several languages, because I like to comment "That reminds me of..."
Here's a very apPEALing peal: I composed this tune for organ, but it would sound good on bells too. I call it Here are the notes: E F E, E D, E F E, E F E
Don't worry mate, I am a bell ringer myself and the more you learn to ring them, the easier it gets. But I ring in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire and the bells there are very easy. Bells at different towers are different sizes and some harder to ring than others. Just remember it is hard at first, but as it gets easier, it stays with you for life.
Joona Mikkonen I mean looking into the bells. A fear of holes usually comes from not seeing the bottom and having them unevenly sized, and that's exactly what this looks like, only it moves too.
Ok, Ringer all opinons counts, but you say the UKGB outside of the UE, is respectable, i know, but i like the Westminster Abbey bells, i love your sond.
sad,BUT YOU MUST BE THERE,TO EXPERIENCE THE BLISS.all or many religions use bells in service,hindu,christian,russian,greek orthodox,zoroastrianism,judaism,BECAUSE PURE SOUND DISPELLS EVIL,AND IT'S MANY VIBRATIONS
mark patterson There is a handbell choir at "St. Forest's-on-the-Green" (name of American parish has been changed to hide my location). I will ask them to play Stedman Caters for me.
EbClectic Only a ding-dong dumbbell would call a bellringer such awful names. Organ and bells are *the best* music in church. I suppose you think I am a crazy bell lover too? If so, my response is "dang, ding!"

Al Fi they are change rining it means they will go from rounds down the scale to changing the order its known as change rining...
@@ameliaviolet8691 the rining is cool, because your sound it´s sweet, OK?

A Full Peel of 10 Bells & 5,000 Sequences & Don't they Sound Fantastic
What a beautiful sound!
Son hermosas y muy bonitas campanas, me gustaron muchísimo.
A glorious sound!!!
Incredible
@ajrawlinson1 wow! i have never seen bells like that before that was lovely the way they was turning inside and out.
Freddie Newsome yeah, the turning inside and out is soooooooooooo interesting. Of course the music is beautiful too.

Ojalá suenen vía satélite para el día de mi boda (26 de mayo de 2018), ojalá estuvieran presentes, suenan muy padre y muy bonito.
I was there on that day and heard them. Beautiful!
Did you see Kate and William?
@@roshnims614 I did and all the royal family standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Oh! that must have been Magical...
THE BEST BELLS OF ALL EUROPE, NO QUESTION!!!
THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL BELLS, EEEEEEHHEEEEEHHHEE, cools, beautifuls, funnies, these are great, YEEEEAAAHHH, with all respect, respect!!!!
@Riley Jones Big Ben Fan the Westminster abbey bells, are beautiful, sensationals.

@@George-og3xv United Kingdom of Great Britain that much better than Spain, OK?
Ohhh well thanks soo much for your video. Glad to find this here. I loved the whole ceremony so much. Beautiful.
Yes the organist was playing a voluntary - the famous Harrison pedal Open Woods (32' and two sets of 16') fill the whole Abbey with sound.
ds1868 Same as at the funeral for poor Princess Diana. In that case it was bittersweet. Beautiful yet sad.
The bells of Westminster Abbey should be ring again when Corona is defeated. Wish you all a very, very warm: Stay healthy. Together we are strong and we will do it. 💪🌎🤝🇩🇪💪
Wow that sound makes me think of the end of Cinderella

The almost beautiful bells of Eurpoe and the world.
Happy, unmuffled bells! Yay!!!! I like to watch them spin, too. No, they don't make me dizzy.
Will obv have this at my wedding
BEAUTIFUL BEEEEEEEELLLLSSS.
ARRIBA EL REINO UNIDO DE LA GRAN BRETAÑA, HORRAY!!!!
The bells are in the key of D and are being played in a stedman cater order
@barbara5706 Peals have been rung where they have taken turns but that was when they were ringing for 27 hours. In 3 hour peals they do not as they are considered to be of short length.

It wasn’t Stedman. It was London and Bristol Royal spliced
@eSharkuk It takes one human being for each individual bell. Ringing changes is incredibly complex to a non-ringer, but there's no sound more beautiful anywhere within hearing range.
@Kevin36097 these bells are in the North West tower... or the left hand side tower as you tlook at the west front. There are no other heavier bells.
@rt18uk No, the tenor is playing, this would have been the Spliced London & Bristol after the wedding!!!
Would love to come and ring here, maybe one day...
No, it is spliced Bristol and London.
@eSharkuk A Peal which is a Call Change ring, can take up to 3 hours, No Breaks..
Definitely rung by an experienced team of change ringers who are situated way below the bells. A complete change of ringing can last for a very long period of time!
The organ is in this one I can’t hear the scale normally heard I think this mic location makes this a unique way of listening
Very good!!!!
Cool!!!
Pun alert:
*Does Stedman Cater* ?
*Yes, of course Stedman Caters* !
😃🤣
I have rang here!
Loved these bells and the base notes of the organ below. Well done! Would love to see these in action for real, very much different from our carillon in Cobh. It takes one person to play our 49 bells, but it takes a much larger commitment from many more people to play your bells. Superb!
Me recuerda al funeral de Diana
Fco Javier I am not fluent in Spanish but I recognized the word "recuerda". I say "I remember that" in several languages, because I like to comment "That reminds me of..."
No dislikes! Thank God!
They rang a peal of 2 Spliced, London Number 3 & Bristol Surprise Royal.
Paul NUFC Smith I thought it was Stedman Caters?
@eSharkuk Don't worry, it took me a year to learn how to do Ringing, which is quite quickly according to my local ringers.
MERECEN UN APLAUSO Y UNA OVACIÓN, POR SER LAS MEJORES CAMPANAS ECLESIÁSTICAS DE EUROPA Y DEL MUNDO.
Is there anywhere I can watch the whole stream?
ruclips.net/video/53UaRWI1Vh4/видео.html
Fascinating! I'm amazed at how long the bells were rung. Three hours? Who were the ringers?
Definitely rung by hand - all 5,000 blare (sequences) memorized, no repeats.
kdadnick 🤣Bells don't blare, you comedian, trumpets blare. LOL🤣
No offense/offence meant.
Yes, I am an American Anglophile.
Where did you get this video from? I would love to see the full length of it
@eSharkuk Why would they have wheels if there was no rope?
I have a load of blisters from bell ringing. Mainly from John the Baptist Great Amwell and Mary the Virgin Ware
moncky2000 blisters = overpulling. :)
My mind when I’m having a panic attack
This is the only video showing the belfry while the bells are ringing
Lots of practice. A full peal generally lasts over three hours.
If you do a google search on "westminster abbey" carillon bells royal wedding you will find a good article posted....I could not attach it here.
Is it me or do all 7, 8, 9 and 10th bells from a ten bell ring sound different to the front 6
These Bells will Only be Ringing During a Funeral Or a Wedding 👰🏻🤵🏻 💐💐💐
Is there a link to this?
They must be strong fellas. My arms would of felt like they were falling off!
RampantFury925 That's why I am not in the handbell choir, because my arms get sore. Playing the organ is easier on my arms.
@clochebell Oh yes. It was Royal Wedding. So ... everything was HIGH standard ;)
I think this was the same "belling" that was used in the movie robin hood.
/watch?v=DK8uMGT01wA This is a video of the bell ringers in Westminster Abbey
Esas campanas son para los dragones dormilones yaaa levantenseen todos
Here's a very apPEALing peal: I composed this tune for organ, but it would sound good on bells too. I call it Here are the notes:
E F E,
E D,
E F E,
E F E
Wish I could have seen them pull these ropes. Three hours is a long time for anyone to continue ringing these. They must have done it in shifts?
@rt18uk it's not stedman, the tenor's inside.
How do they ring the bells if it rings like that?
George Garchitorena if you do a search for "English Change Ringing" that'll help :)
@rt18uk It was London and Bristol spliced royal
@barbara5706 no they dont. it is clled ringing a peal and nobody swaps a takes a break
@ajrawlinson1 I agree with you
10 bells.
how do people keep tugging the ropes for those bells for SO LONG?!
anelew Arms and hands of steel?
3, 2, 1, GOOD BYEEE!!!!!!
@churchlad Yep, Spliced London/Bristol Royal!!
@shiptech2k9 Nice ;)
@PhilNile Yap. It seems I know nothing ... :)
@eSharkuk Ten ringers.
10
LA FECHA CORRECTA DE MI BODA SERÁ EL 27 DE ABRIL DE 2030, discúlpenme, fue mi error!!!
00:00
I hear an organ in the background
Esharkuk knows nothing about ringing then.. If he thinks its Automatic..
But Thanks for the video anyway. I missed this clip.
its ether kent or cambrigh royal
That's a horrifying looking thing. I'd hate to be the one ringing it.
Don't worry mate, I am a bell ringer myself and the more you learn to ring them, the easier it gets. But I ring in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire and the bells there are very easy. Bells at different towers are different sizes and some harder to ring than others. Just remember it is hard at first, but as it gets easier, it stays with you for life.

@tethyssea I don't think so that somebody was doing it for hours. it must be connected to ... something 'automatic'

.....
@girigor57 10 ringers.
THE GREATEST BELLS OF THE WORLD, NO QUESTIONS, very happy with the stay of the UKGB on the EU, no Brexit!!!
Uh... the UK voted for Brexit. Sorry!
