5 Quarter Peals Rung by Southampton City Ringers to Celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday (Includes Videos)
This item by Daniel Graham was first published on the Southampton City Ringers’ website.
All of the Southampton towers rang out today to mark the official 90th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. 5 quarter peals were successful scored (out of 5 attempted) and there was a fantastic standard of ringing all day.
Congratulations to all those who took part and special congratulations to Kristian/Oliver who called their firsts of Bob Caters and Major respectively, to Pip for first of Bristol and Yorkshire, and to Mike for first on 10.
