The Space: All The Bells

Here artist and musician Martin Creed talks about inviting the public to participate and Alan Hughes of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry explains how bell-ringing is a unique and timeless British tradition, while Alan Regin steeple keeper of Christ Church Spitalfields reminds us that bell-ringing, and this particular event, is for everyone. Watch as participants, young and old, across London and the UK signalled the first day of the London Olympics with a fanfare of bell-ringing.
