Close-up of Big Ben's clock tower of Westminster as a black and white pencil drawing (actually with paint shop converted into a pencil sketch), the inscription below the clock face says domine salvam fac reginam nostram victoriam primam God save Queen Victoria the first, at the time between 1837 and 1901 the Queen of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Big Ben is the heaviest bell ever made in Great Britain. Unfortunately the tower is not open to the public. Watch Big Ben in action The chimes of Big Ben or see the moving pendulum bob.
