Call to ring to coincide with the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s taking place on Friday 3rd June to mark HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee
As you will be aware of the extended Bank Holiday in June to mark HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Bell ringing in churches across the UK and Commonwealth will be marking this celebration with a coordinated call to ring to coincide with the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s taking place on Friday 3rd June . There are also plans to ring across London on the Sunday as part of the Pageant. These are the two coordinated activities the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers is supporting.
Of course the weekend lends itself to plenty of opportunities to ring and you may have already seen reference asking bells to ring between 19:52 to 20:22 on Sunday 5th June to close the extended weekends celebrations.
Please share this information with your contacts to encourage early planning of events and liaison between church authorities and local bellringers, if this hasn’t been done already, particularly if ringing is going to take place more often than usual.
