Authorities said workers would not be able to work safely next to the ringing of the 13-tonne bell. But it will still sound for events such as New Year’s Eve and Remembrance Sunday.

I imagine the day when Big Ben will chime again regularly for the first time after the restoration, there would be a large crowd gathered around and after the chimes there will be cheering and applause for the bells return!
That was literally last year LMFAAFO

*This still literally breaks my heart after 4 years..*
It’s a clock…
Why did it stopped?
@@mhmmhm1902 A clock that has stood through 2 world wars and has Never stopped ticking apart from a handful of times. Even the Blitz never stopped the bells from chiming.
@@sharpiefatah3657 The clock and bells have been stopped to allow for major renovations of the Clock Mechanism and the tower its self. The Main hour bell 'Big Ben' Is so loud it would risk deafening workers that are working around the clock face and belfry. So they have to be silenced until work has finished which it almost has now. I think the bells will chime again pretty soon.

Thats weird. First the eclipse in America then the Big Bens last ringing. Its like its the signal for the end of days.
Big Ben's last ringing, which happened at noon, was actually earlier than the 9:04 AM landfall of the eclipse.
Alexander González i know but how all the shit is happening on the same day. Big bens last ringing the solar eclipse. And then i just found out donald trump is sending 4000 more troops to Afghanistan. Its weird.
Private Miller it's only for four years so they can do restoration work safely

Bellissima la campana del big ben
Because it's beautiful
Why can't they just do an AudioRecording of it now while the repairs go on for decades?
That's a good idea. Also, the repairs are only going to take 4 years, not decades.
That would be pretty cool, make it a challenge for Universities and Highschools in the U.K. to come up with a system that closest resembles the real deal, but is concealable. Those are the things to get your community involved!
It's not the same. If they wanted that to happen, they might as well just replace the bell itself with an audio recording and never fix it again.
Wellch what do you think this is?
Wellch I thought it was 4 years repairing?

This bought tear to my eye. It is sad and emotional because Big Ben has always been a major part of our British nationality. The stones and old Roman numerals clock plays a big role in British society and goes back to our ancestry heritage which made our ancestors very happy and proud and l believe more people felt like me lost and sad same as our ancestors would had felt. Every chime, is a chime of glory and pride to be born British. Very, very heart breaking!
Chill, it's only gone for 4 years. Not like it did it's last bong and it went up in flames!
Yeah, and it will bong the place down come new years day.
ABU Tomcat But what if...."gasp", plot twist!
I'm not even British and this makes me sad. I wish I could have seen it though.
Liam Anonymous Even though I'm not British, nor do I live in London, England, I feel bad as well, i'I've always wanted to see and hear Big Ben, but looks like until four years, that will be my time, and, im the 100th like.
That sounds mighty.
For anyone who is wondering why Big Ben has gone silent, it's because it seriously requires major repairs from the damage caused by the 100+ years of continuous operation. Don't worry, big Ben will ring again
Thankyou , I was waiting for that explanation in the video🙂
Clock: **Tells everyone what time it is**
Everyone: **Cheers and claps**
Clock: ???..... Why do I hear boss music?
Night of nights starts playing
Be more specific it's big ben
Exonite HD which is a clock.
@@kumanaz2765 yes but there are a lot of kinds of clocks.
Exonite HD there are also lots of types of mountains but it’s acceptable to just call Mount Fuji “a mountain”. Clock is an umbrella term which Big Ben falls under. It’s fine to call it a clock.

Same here I had in full volume
Bro as soon as I heard the chimes I was scared asf
I wonder if the clock tower rang on the day it was queen Elizabeth’s funeral though it’s awful to see that a woman that was did a lot of crazy things in WW2 to try to defeat the Germans.

Too soon.
TheCycloneable I find that comment very offensive. Why should it only be Britons who will be affected by the silence of the world's most famous bell?! It's importance and symbolism and prominence reaches out across the world otherwise why would it be so famous and historically important? Repairs need to be made to the tower, and the mechanism and accuracy of the clock itself therefore Ben can't chime until this vital work has been completed. In the hearts of people around the world Ben is only having a short sleep, he's not silent to those who hear and love the chimes in the mind !
Fay Goodwin i apologize for the offensive joke, o wise good sir. please send my apologies to Ben the Clock for me as well, I promise to respect all clock until its last chime/beep from now on.
