After a five-year restoration project, the world-famous Big Ben bell towering above Britain's Houses of Parliament is resuming daily operations and will be permanently reconnected from Remembrance Sunday on November 13. "It's the sound of London back again" says parliament timekeeper Ian Westworth. "We started again striking it this week and all we've got is praise, people going 'oh, that's brilliant to hear Big Ben back again," he adds.
