In London, Big Ben has reopened after five years of restoration, and the last clock face in the Elizabeth Tower is starting to show the correct time again.
The Mail Online reported that the scaffolding was removed from the site at the end of 2021, but then passersby noticed that the western clock face was stuck at the 12 o'clock position. After that work continued on its restoration. Over the past five years, the clockwork and bell of Big Ben have undergone a major renovation project.
Watch companies from all over Britain participated in the restoration of the tower. The cost of the business amounted to 80 million pounds.
