THE bells of a Llangollen church rang a quarter peal on Monday (January 27) to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Six bell ringers took park in the 45 minute service of continuous ringing on National Holocaust Memorial Day at St Collen’s Church, starting at 4.30pm.

The quarter peal – which is rung for special events or in remembrance – was made up of 1,260 changes with the bells half muffled as they traditionally are for Remembrance Sunday.

The eight bells in the clock tower at St Collen's Church were installed in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
