#OnThisDay in 1859 #BigBen chimed for the first time. Its success was short-lived as in September 1859, the bell cracked and Big Ben was silent for four years
I always love listening to those chimes (though I'll have to put up with spending four years without the chimes sounding during the 2017-2021 restoration, which to remind you is because of the workers having to work around the bells while they need to hear their conversations and not damage their hearing from the loud chimes, but the chimes will still be used for important events like Remembrance Sunday and the New Year). Big Ben is one of my most favourite landmarks in the world!
Great to see the Great Bell itself being struck. The largest bell and the most famous ever cast by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Shame they've closed the door on their original location but great that due to the Grade II listing that the building itself cannot be destroyed or modified to modernise it, so it beautifully maintains its original appearance and prominence as befits the oldest English business in existence. Blessings and Chimes, upon the Foundry and it's history!
Big Ben is the sound of London. Old, glorious sounding, beautiful landmark of Western civilization. He's been ringing in the hours for London since the days of Queen Victoria, and he is magnificent. God preserve Britain.
Sadly Big Ben is under renovations and maintenance and won't chime again until late 2020 to early 2021. The bells will only chime on national holidays until the work is complete.
This is a great video clip especially of the quarter bells ringing the Westminster Chimes All Through This Hour Lord Be My Guide That By Thy Power No Foot Shall Slide
Hola soy de México y admiro mucho a Inglaterra y a su reína y la maravilla arquitectonica del big ben es una de las mas famosas del mundo mis respetos y mis felicitaciones a inglaterra
Everytime I hear the bell toll: I think the cliche foggy streets of London. Camera as a close-up of Big Ben and then it slowly pulls back as the bells toll to reveal a haunting but beautifully foggy night of London. Also, if they do give tours of that place, I can only imagine how loud it is even with earplugs XD
The clock tower's bell on my campus sounds a bit like that. It hasn't chimed for a few years now and I miss it. Maybe it needed repairs but it wouldn't take nearly as long to repair that as it would Big Ben.
London is the capital city of england big ben is the capital of London the bell was made 2 times because it broke in 1859 the first day in 1860 it was build again
Mario: Hey Luigi, Big Ben is not the name of the clock tower. It's the name of what's inside the clock tower. Luigi: What's inside the clock tower? Mario: Well, Big Ben is the name of a big bell inside the clock tower. Luigi: Oh, I love Big Ben. (Kiss sound).
I REALLY ABSOLUTELY LOVE BIG BEN IN LONDON AND BIG BEN IS VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LOUD INDEED AND IT GOES RAISE SOME MONEY BEEING FUNNY RAISE SOME MONEY BEEING FUNNY AND THEN HE STARTS TO CHIMES AT 12 PM

Translation from Bellish to English: The time is now 12:00 PM.
+Red Door Productions 12:00 and all's well.
Al right, but is it 12:00when the first bell starts ringing, when Big Ben starts or at the 12th stroke of Big Ben ? Let's be precise, please !
Red Door Productions bellish? I didn’t know that bellish was a language!

Josiah Guthrie shut the hell up
MYA Chukwuma O'conner's memes what the hell was that for?
@@plutolunaplays It's true, and there is no shortage of news covering it. No reason to be a cringy edge-lord about it.
Mya Chukwuma O'Conner The Memiest Of Memers um.. it’s true
Royce551 i guess he's denying that Big Ben won't chime again until 2020-2021
yet it's 2019 we can wait 2 more years
Big Ben has lovely chimes. Would love to visit London someday.
I want to go to London and hear these in real life!
Oh my god! I get goosebumps when I hear the big bell chime....
We got this 3 more years and we’ll be hearing it again
This is a great video clip especially of the quarter bells ringing the Westminster Chimes

Awesome sound. To think this is basically a large version of a "long case" or grandfather clock
william fleete
william fleete Or perhaps a long case clock is a miniature version of the Westminster clock tower ;)

Sounds Royal in every way..love the sound
I miss the chimes till the cows come home. God bless Big Ben 🙏✨🔔🇬🇧
I love this clip of Big Ben its a shame London is gonna be without it for 3 years
Andrew M big ben won't be silent for the whole of the refurbishment. It will only be silent for several months, while they repair the clock mechanism.
I live in Kansas USA and i always wanted to see big ben
I was born in 1966. But. I can remember the 11am chime. In 1939.
Big Ben had his birthday on April the 10th! And has chimed for at least 160 years!!! 🔔😊
It was founded in the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1858, but had the first chime in 1859
Listen to #BigBen strike the hour www.parliament.uk/BigBen
The UNITED KINGDOM without doubt has the most magnificent clock in the world.
English Briton America has the liberty bell, but it's not as magnificent XD
English Briton I agree with you if I do say so myself
On Midnight It Is 00 00

Music to my ears.

Pitty modern architecture is rubbish compared to this.
WankersCramp69 Yeah
I don't think so buddy
WankersCramp69 hi
WankersCramp69 Especially Brutalist architecture.🤢
Yes because the burj khalifa is totally inferior to this clock tower.

This is actually how my doorbell sounds
Big Ben 's bells rang in the Time Machine (1960) and the Great Mouse Detective. 😊
does that ring any bells 🕭🕛
yeah dugh
Magnificent bell & clock tower
Big Ben is the Great bells name hung inside the belfry of Elizabeth tower and above the clock faces and clock called the Great Westminster Clock.
The Clock tower in Manila, Philippines also used Westminster chimes.

Serasia Big ben is going to be repaired next year. At the cost of £29 Million. And will take a couple years, I believe.
0:41 RIP headphone users. Wait a minute, I'm using headphones and I'm not dead! 😂
Bloody Bummer as your tower falls silent... KEEP CALM, AND CARRY ON!
0:41 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
You can hear the fly fans sloing down after the quoter bells ring :D
Works differently than i expected...
Me anda friend are making a Big Ben in minecraft and we haven't figured how to make a actual bell for the 12 strike
I miss these beautiful chimes 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🔕🔕🔔🔕🔔🔕
Won't be hearing this for three and a half years :(
with the execption on new years and rembrance day
True
Dear Publisher..... You are WRONG! Only the bell is called...."Big Ben". The tower is called. "St. Elizabeth Tower"
Marcus Meisters people say big ben, to refer to the tower as a whole. How do people not understand this?
Nerd With Attitude Yeah. Quite similar to rockets. Sometimes the payload's name is used to refer to the whole rocket. Like Soyuz or Vostok...
Big Ben loses the AFL Conference title. Now he needs millions of dollars for repairs! Funny stuff.
Don't you change the bells? You can clearly see that they're rusted.
Rip using headphones
Who came here after Big Ben was announced to be silenced for repairs?

Mario: Well, Big Ben is the name of a big bell inside the clock tower.
Luigi: Oh, I love Big Ben. (Kiss sound).

They don’t want people completely messing up the bell.
