THE BELLS of a Wokingham church will ring out on Thursday as the nation and the borough remembers the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Bell ringers at St Paul’s Church, Reading Road will make a joyful sound as part of a nationwide campanology event, Ring Out In Celebration.
Campanologists are skilled bell ringers, often with knowledge of the history of bell ringing traditions, bell designs, ringing techniques, and their cultural significance.
Bell ringing can be a form of artistic expression, and is often performed with intricate and harmonious ringing patterns.
Eighty years since the nation first took to the streets in celebration of Victory in Europe Day, the nation can recreate that momentous day and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
To hear the bells ring out in Wokingham, residents can make their way to St Paul’s Churchyard on Thursday, April 8, from 6.30pm until 7pm.
