Church bells, cow bells and bicycle bells rang out on this morning in Redbridge to celebrate the start of the Olympic Games.
A number of church bells were rung for three minutes as quickly and loudly as possible as part of a piece of by Turner-Prize winning artist Martin Creed.
The cacophony started at just after 8am.
At St Peter’s Church, Aldborough Road North, Newbury Park, about 30 people gathered to ring bells – including on their phones.
Ron Jeffries, from the church, said: “It’s a good thing that everyone is getting involved, it’s a bit of local fun. Anything involving the local community is a good.”
Other churches around the borough, including St Andrew’s Church in The Drive, Ilford, also took part.
