Big Ben's "bongs" will ring out for the last time on Saturday 11 August before they fall silent for a month. Maintenance work will mean the hourly chimes and quarter bells will cease to ring from 0800 BST until September. The clock itself will stop for a few hours as an alternative system is installed to keep it working while the work to the bells is carried out. The maintenance is the second and final phase of a programme of works prior to the clock's 150th anniversary in 2009.
