For the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant and
the church of St James' Garlickhythe

A new ring of bells is coming to the City of London. They were cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in Feb/Mar 2012, will be erected in their own tower on a boat on the River Thames, and will ring out at the head of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant on Sunday 3rd June, 2012.  They will then be hung in the tower of the Parish Church of St James' Garlickhythe on Garlick Hill.  In both the Pageant and the Tower, the bells will be hung for full circle change ringing and manned by ringers.

Bell ringers all over the country and the Commonwealth are invited to ring their bells at 3pm on 3rd June to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Towers ringing are listed here, and you can register your tower as ringing here (through the Ringing World BellBoard).
