12 hours before the official start of London 2012 Olympics Games


UK asked to join mass bell-ringing 




Conceived by Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed, All The Bells encourages everyone across the UK to ring a bell for three minutes from 08:12 BST.
Thousands of bells are expected to be rung including church bells, hand bells, bicycle bells and doorbells.
Big Ben will also chime 40 times during the period which Creed wants bells rung "as quickly and as loudly as possible".
Organisers hope it will set a world record for the largest number of bells rung simultaneously.
