London. Big Ben to remain silent for the next four years !!
BBC news is reporting that the clock needs to be silenced as essential repair work is carried out on the tower.
The bell that sounds the hour (big Ben) has been in action for most of the last 157 years.
It will make it's final chimes at mid-day on Monday and will not chime again until repairs are completed. Although it WILL chime for Remembrance Sunday(Sunday 12th November) And Midnight New Years Eve.
