Dear All,
Following today's sad news of the death of the Queen, please be reminded of
the agreed plans for operation London Bridge.
Kind regards
Caroline



See below


   - On the day of announcement of such an event - ringing can commence
   within an hour or two of the announcement if ahead of 4pm - at Cherry
   Hinton the tenor will be tolled (fully open if unable to muffle that day)
   at some point during that day / next day
   - Sunday service ringing will continue fully muffled during the national
   mourning period
   - Open ringing (rather than specifically arranged Qps - although these
   can be arranged separately) will take place fully muffled on the funeral day
   - Open ringing unmuffled will take place on the coronation day of the
   new Monarch
   - There is a chance for unmuffled open ringing on the announcement of
   the new Monarch but it'll depend on where this falls within the mourning
   period and may not be practical to keep adding and then removing muffles
   - Practices - we will have to see how these fall over the mourning
   period & and what guidance we are given - we will be working to prolong the
   endurance of the muffles so that these remain in place (as much as
   possible) for the ringing that they are required for -  so more on how this
   will work when we reach that time.
