THE BELLS of Worcester Cathedral will chime 100 times today in memory of Captain Sir Tom Moore.
The centenarian’s funeral takes place later today and the ringing of the bourdon bell will be done by the Worcester Cathedral Bellringers at 12.05pm.
The Dean of Worcester Peter Atkinson said: “Captain Sir Tom Moore exemplified the very best of human courage, compassion, resilience, hope and generosity under extraordinary and challenging circumstances.
“We are proud to honour him by tolling the bourdon bell in his memory. Our thoughts remain with his family and loved-ones.”
The bourdon bell of Worcester Cathedral is normally used by the clock to strike the hours, and is tolled on significant occasions.
