A short video of the tower bells being rung with a half muffled peal at St Mary's church in Burwell, Cambs, UK on Jan 26th 2010. It was a cold, crisp winter day just as the sun was about to set - one of those days you will remember in years to come. You may just hear my little grandson's voice in the background at times. This was a practice session before the funeral a few days later of Private Robert Hayes who was killed in Afghanistan earlier this year.

  • It is a beautiful muffled peal - was there a funeral happening?

  • @Audinos

    This was a practice for the funeral today of private Robert Hayes aged 19, who was killed in Afghanistan. The church is packed to overflowing with mourners.

  • Something quite evocative about half-muffled ringing. I remember ringing half muffled on the morning of the death of Diana Princess of Wales. Have been a bellringer on and off for 25yrs now (since I was 13 HI), latterly in Warboys, Cambs where i was ringing master, before we upped sticks and moved to Australia! 73 - VK2GOM / G0MOH

  • God bless Robert. May he rest in peace...

  • Eternal rest grant unto Robert, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
