Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip… 70th wedding anniversary today.
That’s wonderful. May all marriages be enduring.
I read that the bells of Westminster Abbey would peel for 3 hours today in their honor. HERE
From 1pm the Abbey's bell ringers will ring a full peal, expected to last 3 hours and 20 minutes, to mark the #70thweddinganniversary of The Queen and Prince Philip. We will stream as much of it as we are able to via @TwitterLive and Facebook Live. pic.twitter.com/JRNXMGQ2Hx

I love this post. I love the part about the bells. I love bells of all kinds and change ringing in particular. The full peal referred to is the modern peal of 5000 changes. A full peal of the ten bells would take much, much longer than that.
