THE bells of St Mary's Church, Kidderminster, were due to ring out last night in memory of the victims of the World Trade Centre attack last year.
They were due to ring with a "muffled" sound on September 11, the anniversary of the terrorist atrocity.
The muffled effect makes the bells sound haunting and sad.
They were last sounded in this manner for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Ringing master Chris Stuart said: "It's a small gesture but it's one that the band has been very keen to make.
"It's usually rather difficult getting enough ringers together to ring during the week but this time there were no problems."
