Hear Bells Around the World Ring for Queen Elizabeth II

It was a sound that echoed around the world in celebration Queen Elizabeth II.

Tributes have been paid to the 96-year-old British monarch, who died peacefully at her Balmoral estate on September 8, just minutes after news of her death broke. The bells rang in churches and cathedrals around the world, including St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, England, when they shared on social networks— once a minute in honor of Her Majesty’s 96 years of life.

“The half-silenced bell that breaks the silence of Leicester Cathedral”, official Twitter account belonging to a church located in England, captioned the video of their bells. “In honor of the death of Her Majesty the Queen.”

Another Twitter user posted a video of a cathedral in Chelmsford, England, where passers-by stop to look at the bells. They signed the clip“People stopped by the bells ringing at #Chelmsford Cathedral. Residents and workers of the city took time to reflect on the remarkable life of Queen Elizabeth II.”
