We rang half muffled on 6 this morning for #RemembranceSunday. Some nice striking and a good lower on the back 5 to finish.

Following the sad announcement of the death of Her Majesty the Queen, the bells will be rung fully muffled tomorrow from 12noon as a mark of respect. Rest in Peace, Your Majesty.
God Save the King.
