Ringing before The Service of Thanksgiving for the life of Christabel Drakes (5 April 1947 to 30 December 2024). Christabel learnt to ring in July 2023 and rang with us for about six months.

Before the service the Six Tailors and 77 strikes on the tenor were rung by David Connearn.

The following also joined in ringing Rounds and Call Changes before and after the service: Beverley Sharp-Georgiev, Shana Vijayan, Temi Abidaye, Janet Caruso and MaryAnn Caruso.

A service touch of Plain Doubles was rung just before the service ending with diminishing rounds on the back six, with the tenor striking the final blows.

All The Meridian Ringers wish to be associated with today's ringing.
