The sound of pealing church bells shortly after noon today will symbolize a historic link between Fulton and London.
The sounds will come at the same time from the bell towers located at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury on the Westminster College campus in Fulton and at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
The two churches will ring their bells at the exact time of the 70th anniversary of the largest German air raid of World War II. The corresponding time for the Fulton church bell ringing will be at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday.
"The event was organized by the London Fire Brigade. They asked us to participate, and we are pleased to be a part of the commemoration," said Dr. Rob Havers, executive director of the National Churchill Museum.
"Since London is six hours ahead of us, our bells will ring out at 12:15 p.m. for the raid that started exactly 70 years ago at 6:15 p.m. in London," Havers said.
