** FILE ** A team of abseiling glaziers clean and repair one of the faces on the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster, popularly known as 'Big Ben' in London in this Monday, Aug. 20, 2001 file photo. Big Ben is losing its bongs temporarily. The famous bell in the clock tower of Britain's Houses of Parliament is to fall silent for a month of repairs, officials announced. The House of Commons said Wednesday Aug. 8, 2007 that the distinctive bongs would sound the hour for the last time at 8 a.m. (0700 GMT) Saturday before four to six weeks of maintenance work on the clock.
