Ringing for Remembrance Sunday and the 100th anniversary of the 1918 armistice, 11 November 2018, St Columb Major, Cornwall, UK. Bells are rung half-muffled for sombre occasions such as funerals or Remembrance; this is achieved by fixing a leather pad to one side of each bell's clapper, hence each alternate stroke is muffled. This clip shows some "call-changes" and the "fall" - lowering the bells from swinging full-circle to hanging mouth down, aiming to keep in perfect rhythm throughout.
