Clocks go back

It will take Parliament's team of clock mechanics a total of 24 hours over the weekend to ensure that all 2,000 timepieces across the estate are changed in time ...

Builder William Willett suggested the changing of the clocks in the UK all the way back in 1907. The clocks go back at 2am on the last Sunday in October. The tower, at the northern end of the Houses of Parliament, which is also known as Big Ben after the bell inside, has been covered in scaffolding during the restoration work.
