London:&nbsp;
After a five-year restoration project, the world-famous ringer is back with a bong.
The Great Clock towering above Britain&rsquo;s Houses of parliament is resuming daily operations following the painstaking renovation of more than 1,000 moving parts.
When the clock&rsquo;s five cast&nbsp;iron bells including Big Ben fell silent in 2017, a mournful crowd of parliamentarians and staff gathered below. Some shed tears.
But after a week of testing, normal service will resume every 15 minutes from 11:00am (1100 GMT) on Sunday.
The time marks the moment on November 11, 1918 when the guns fell silent in WW1. In Britain, Remembrance Sunday immediately follows Armistice Day every November 11.
Atop the 96-metre (315-ft)&nbsp;Elizabeth Tower is the belfry housing the bells &mdash; protected by exterior netting to keep out bats and pigeons. Beyond lie some of London&rsquo;s most spectacular vistas. But parliament&rsquo;s three in-house timekeepers don&rsquo;t have time to enjoy the view.

Ian Westworth, 60, and his colleagues have been busy overseeing the tests to ensure that everything is in order after the &pound;80-million ($90-million) restoration. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the sound of London back again,&rdquo; Westworth said.
