Ringing in our tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II and our thanks to her for 70 years of dedicated service to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth began at 12.00 with the tolling of the tenor 96 times by Peter Barker. We then continued with call changes, including Queens. We reassembled at 16.55 and rang more call changes, Plain Hunt on 9, and a bob course of Grandsire Caters. The bells were fully muffled, apart from the tenor, which had an open backstroke. We are very grateful to help from Carole, Peter and Rebecca from Halifax, and to Andrew from Audlem.
Just five of the above ringers were alive during the reign of the last king.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
God save the King.

This performance was rung In memoriam — HM Queen Elizabeth II
