bells from St Paul's



   The service celebrating Queen's Elizabeth's 80th birthday was
broadcast on the BBC this morning and is archived at:

   If you open the stand alone Real Player, you can use the slide bar to
get to specific parts of the broadcast.  There are bells for the first 7
seconds, and then again starting at 1:04:59 when she goes outside to
walk around greeting people and accepting bouquets. That part of the
ringing goes on for seven minutes, but unfortunately the bells are
treated as background for yapping from the commentators, and a brief
clip from her silver jubilee speech in 1977 (?), so they are hard to
hear.
