Big Ben clock tower - the symbol of London and the whole of England. |
The UK is lobbying MPs change the clock tower "Big Ben" in London to celebrate 60 years in the throne of Queen Elizabeth II.
Politicians believe that the first change to the clock tower St. Stephen, also known as the Tower of Big Ben, the Tower Elizabeth will contribute in honor of Queen Elizabeth and her 60-year dedication to the country.
"Not many kings and queens once ruled the country in such a long time," Tobias Ellwood MP, head of the renaming campaign, told CNN paid.
"The only person who could be crowned the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II."
"The other tower in the Palace of Westminster has been used to honor Queen Victoria. Meanwhile, the clock tower but has many nicknames, such as Tower of Big Ben or Tower of St. Stephen, but did not have a name official, "he argues.
"This is a great way to honor the precious life, as well as the advantages to the Queen gave the country for years."
Ellwood MP, said his plan has received strong support from politicians across the country. Ellwood also expressed hope that these people will continue to support his draft to the renaming of the tower can proceed in the coming weeks, before the 60th anniversary of the Queen's throne in June.
"Big Ben" is the name of the bell weighs 13.5 tonnes of the Tower, not the official name of this work as many people believe.
This bell is shaking up the first time in 7/1859. London now people every hour to hear from the Big Ben bell rang throughout the city.
It is not clear whether the new name, Elizabeth Tower will be support from people, or they will continue to call this a clock tower with the name Big Ben. However, those who like to joke has quickly come up with a different name very funny for this long-standing tower, the "Big Beth".
