THE NAME Big Ben is seared into the minds nearly every British person, and many through out the world. But how many realise it’s not the building but the name of the bell within. Big Ben became the general name through the years.

I think this is a lovely tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. However, I’m afraid I will always think of the tower and clock as Big Ben.
I always will still think of the Tower as Big Ben, but am happy that they changed it for such a good reason for the Queen.
