St Martin’s Coney Street rang out for the start of Stage 2 of Le Tour de France 2014.  Watch and listen via the rooftop clip below.

The bells were played by hammers as the ringers watched the cyclists pass by.  The crowds looked up at us and the TV helicopters looked down on us.

The church hosted an Open Day all day – loads of people came along to have a go at bellringing, to enjoy the wonderful refreshments and quite simply for another really welcoming part of a great day.

“Venez ici si vous voulez essayez le bellringing. Join us to ring for Le Tour de France at le Yorkshire Festival @YFest2014 #bepartofit maintenant. Allez allez allez”
