#AceBreakingNews – The UK’s most famous clock will be put back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) this weekend for the first time since 2017 By Jasmine Andersson: BBC News

Daily Star News

The Great Clock of Westminster, widely but unofficially known as Big Ben, will be changed by parliamentary mechanics in the early hours of Sunday.

It has been largely silent for five years, after it was dismantled and repaired in a renovation project.

Clocks across the UK will go back an hour at 02:00 on Sunday, offering many people an extra 60 minutes in bed.

If you were expecting a spectacle of Big Ben’s hands being wound back, you will be disappointed.

That is not going to happen – instead, it will be manually paused, with lights on the four clock faces turned off at 22:00 on Saturday.

The clock will be stopped and restarted at midnight. The lights will then come back on at 02:00, when the correct time will be displayed.

“This is so people looking up do not wonder why the hands are going round and get confused,” said clock mechanic Alex Jeffrey.

Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said the time change would “herald a new beginning” for the iconic London landmark.

He hailed the team behind the scenes, which will work for 24 hours to ensure all 2,000 timepieces across Parliament are changed in time.

While most of us are tucked up in bed, they will be “clocking up eight miles [13km] changing our parliamentary clocks,” Sir Lindsay said.
