On Saturday April 17 at 3.00pm, Cathedral Bellringer David Oliver will mark the passing of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh by ringing the traditional "Nine Tailors" and tolling the cathedral's tenor bell 99 times, one toll for each year of the Prince's life. Prince Philip's funeral will be broadcast live earlier that day at 7am Pacific Time on CBC.
During the pandemic, the cathedral bellringers have needed to find new ways to meet and ring together. Learn more about their work over the past year on next week's (April 23) episode of the Cathedral Check-in: https://www.christchurchcathedral.bc.ca/podcasts/the-cathedral-check-in
