King Charles coronation: Association of Ringing Teachers want “bell-ringers in every church”

Preparations for King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla’s coronation are well under way with the big event just a few months away. One of the most noticeable parts of the day for those across the country will be when the bells ring to mark the coronation of the King - and bell-ringers are already preparing.

Amanda Richmond, from the Association of Ringing Teachers, told the BBC: "We want to make sure that there are ringers for every church so that we can all ring out for the coronation". Richmond will lead a group of bell-ringers with decades of experience as well as those who are just starting out.
