with Peter & Jill Staniforth (Peter had been in the 1951 band which 
opened the bells) and Kingsley & Rosemary Mason. We had walked round 
from the north side, in the shadow of the Cathedral, where the bells 
were to be heard quite distinctly in changes; they came round as we 
got to the west end and were being perfectly (yes) struck in rounds, 
very slowly (14 sec/whole pull) and were heard in appropriate 
majesty.. Another real treat, on another occasion was to hear the 
front major eight in Eb being rung down; and on yet another to ring 
for a Judges' service on the back six. True glory.
