Wow – Dylan, I can really see your understanding of time from this detailed explanation, thank you for sharing this. Did you know that Big Ben is actually the name for the great bell that rings each hour? So for each hour it chimes, it rings the same amount as for the hour, for example if it is six o’ clock, it will ring six times. Lots of people think that Big Ben is the name of the tower, but the tower has its own name called ‘Elizabeth Tower. It used to be called the ‘Clock Tower’ but in 2012 it was renamed ‘Elizabeth Tower’ to mark the Diamond Jubilee of our Queen, which celebrated 60 years of her reign.
