The Diamond Jubilee will be an important occasion for towns and villages to hear their bells being rung. With a celebration that is spread over four days, the big question is WHEN to ring. The timing will often be determined by other local celebrations. However The Ringing World is also encouraging towers all over the UK and Commonwealth to ring their bells at 3pm on Sunday, 3rd June. This will coincide with the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant; a river display and procession of over one thousand vessels on the Thames, attended by The Queen. It will be led by a floating belfry containing the Royal Jubilee Bells. Towers along the banks of the river are already set to sound out, and they are fast being joined by others far and wide. Details of ringing planned for the occasion appear on the Thames Pageant website and the Royal Jubilee Bells website. To post details of ringing planned at YOUR tower register with BellBoard now and use the DIARY feature to add the details. They will then be fed automatically into the above named websites.
