Due to a “small technological mistake,” Big Ben did not chime at the end of the minute of silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II on Sunday night.
The distinctive bell located in the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament remained silent on September 18; the UK Parliament stated that the issue has “since been remedied.”
A representative for Parliament told The Metro that additional testing will be conducted to verify that the planned tolling would occur during Monday’s state funeral procession.
The Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom published an article on Friday detailing the army’s efforts to guarantee Big Ben chimes as predicted.
The story stated, “At precisely 12.15 p.m., when hush descends across London, Army precision kicks in with immaculate accuracy — practiced to perfection — so the procession may begin against the chimes of the world’s most famous clock.”
Big Ben is frequently used to refer to the entire structure, however it solely refers to the bell. The tower’s official name is the Elizabeth Tower.
The name was changed from the Great Tower to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen in 2012.
