Bells ring out for one hour at 10.00am on the morning of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on 19 September 2022 - the funeral commenced at 11.00am. The city was extremely quiet, with a genuine sense of sadness and occasion as people scurried home to watch the funeral on TV. At Christ Church College, the famous Old Tom bell rang out in the central quadrangle, and we were there to record it.
