    At midday today, bells at several of the Harrogate district’s churches rung out to mourn the Queen.

    Churches including Ripon Cathedral, St Peter’s in Harrogate and St John’s in Knaresborough rung throughout the hour.

    They joined with churches across the country such as Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral to pay their respects to the Monarch.

    Janet Hurst was one of the bellringers in Hampsthwaite. She explained the process of ‘muffling’ the bells as part of the tribute.

    “The bells are fully muffled, which only happens for the Monarch, normally it’s half-muffled... so that people can pause and pay their respects to Her Majesty.”
