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.
