2022 is the 70th<\/sup> anniversary of The Queen\u2019s accession to the throne in 1952.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, as many St Andrew\u2019s bell ringers as possible chose to ring on Coronation Day which was Thursday 2nd<\/sup> June 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in rounds (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8), bells were quickly swapped over to produce a change known as \u2018Queen\u2019s\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This change was repeated exactly 70 times to mark each year of The Queen\u2019s long reign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Queen\u2019s\u2019 change is the odd bells followed by the even bells (1,3,5,7,2,4,6,8). It is a musical change said to have been given it\u2019s name after Queen Elizabeth I overheard this series of changes and commented how much she liked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bell ringers who took part were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
