This weekend, our skilled clock mechanics will be busy changing around 2,000 clocks across Parliament – from the smallest to the grandest. 🕒

At 1am tomorrow morning, all UK clocks go forward an hour as we move into British Summer Time. Including the Great Clock in the Elizabeth Tower, which will also undergo scheduled maintenance. 🔧

From 6pm today, the hands will show the wrong time, and the bells will be silent. 🔇 By 2am on Sunday, the chimes should return, marking the start of British Summer Time. 

We've been loving the longer days at the Palace of Westminster. Thank you to Instagram users samsnaps.jpeg and _trippy_little_hippie_ for these snaps of the Elizabeth Tower. 🌇
