Who cares if the bells were off?. there was no sound until 1927. Any recording would have been on Bakelite or wax previous to this, I suppose you think that the Death Star is an anacronism as well?. Do you work in a comic shop?.

hum...did anyone catch one thing....the bells were not right(I know that eveyone did since you are English and I am American..ha!)! Seriously, they were way off!!

Quite fascinating to hear Big Ben's chimes 116years ago. The bells sound more clear and 'newer' than in recent years- especially the hour bells. One quibble,though, Edward VII was still Prince of Wales (and would be another 8 years until his mother's death) so why show his funeral procession 18 years after this recording? Still, fascinating to see the footage and hear the bells! Thanks for posting!

what exactly would be swift and severe punishment?

btw Edward I died in the late 1200's, Edward II ruled until the 1320's and Edward III presided over the coming of the plague in 1348, he ruled for 50 years
