Big Ben: Clock Tower renamed Elizabeth Tower for Jubilee

Parliament's Clock Tower is being renamed The Elizabeth Tower this week to honour the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

The BBC's Adam Fleming climbed hundreds of steps inside the landmark, with tour guide Tim Redmond, although the sound of the famous bongs proved too loud for a BBC microphone.
