Britain's Bell Ringers Prepare For The Coronation Of King Charles III and The Queen Consort

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 30: Instructor Tom Hinks pulls a bell rope during a bell ringing practice session at Bromley Parish Church on April 30, 2023 in Bromley, England. Throughout Britain plans are being made to "Ring for the King" at the Coronation of King Charles III on May 6th. For hundreds of years church bells have rung out, not only to call communities to worship, but also to celebrate special occasions. With around 6,000 sets of bells across the British Isles, with nearly 38,000 bells and only around 30,000 bellringers, the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers has initiated an appeal to recruit more ringers so they can be trained in time to Ring for the King.
