Campanologists preparing for the King's coronation are encouraging others to take up the pursuit.
The bells of the waterfront Church of St Clement, in Ipswich, still ring out on cold February nights.
Following the announcement of the coronation, the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers initiated an appeal to recruit more ringers. "It's been something I've been interested in but Ring for the King made me think this is the time to get in to it, so I decided to start learning," she says."I'd encourage younger people to really get involved with it, you make lots of friends very quickly."Beginner bell-ringer Fiona Smith took up the pastime last year
At St Clement's ringing session is 61-year-old grandfather Janus Van Helvert, a Soka Buddhist who used to bell-ring in the early 90s. "I thought I'd have to start right from the very beginning again, but the basic control of the bell was a bit like riding a bike... It's fun and it does get your brain going."As well as St Clement, the group also uses the medieval bells just across town, at the Church of St Lawrence, a decommissioned church now used as a community hub with a bustling café.
