Mike McCann, who carries the title of Keeper of the Great Clock, said: "After 150 years, Big Ben still holds a special place in the hearts of Londoners and the world as a magnificent example of engineering and building genius."
The bell, cast in Whitechapel on 10 April 1858, was first rung in the Great Westminster Clock on 11 July 1859. The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but technically only refers to its largest bell.
