The minute's silence that took place yesterday (Sunday) in Britain in memory of the late Queen Elizabeth was indeed a moment that united all subjects in the kingdom, but it seems that surprisingly the silence was also attended by the only factor that was supposed to make noise: the famous Big Ben clock.
At precisely eight o'clock he was supposed to ring the bell for the minute of silence, but as mentioned he did not do so.
The British media reported that officials in the Parliament, where Big Ben is located, said that they are "vigorously investigating why Big Ben failed to ring this evening as planned during the minute of silence."
The fear is that the problem will not be resolved in time, that is, until the funeral that will take place today (Sunday), the most watched event in British and possibly even world history.
The famous clock, which has undergone renovations in recent years and has rung successfully ever since, is supposed to ring for about an entire hour at the end of the state funeral ceremony that will take place in Westminster Abbey in London.
The bells will start around 12:00 noon (local time), when the coffin will leave for a special mourning procession through the streets of London, on its way to Windsor Castle, where the queen who ruled the country for 70 years will be buried.
The authorities are optimistic that the problem will be solved in time.
