Bells ring for the Queen's Jubilee
On Friday 3rd June, thousands of bellringers across the UK took hold of the ropes to ring the bells in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
There was no exception in Bristol as the St Mary Redcliffe Guild of Ringers rang a peal lasting 3h 54m to mark the occasion.
A peal consists of over 5,000 unique permutations of the bells without stopping. The band rang Bristol Surprise Maximus to coincide with The Service of Thanksgiving at London's St Paul's Cathedral.
Below are the details of the Redcliffe peal and the ringers who took part.
