Big Ben is the iconic clock tower that has defined the London skyline for generations. It has been under construction since 2017, but most of it has been discontinued; however, new reports now show that the original hands on the clock have been restored and they It was found to be a striking shade of Prussian blue. The entire restoration work is expected to be completed in 2022, when the clock of Big Ben will ring again and run again. The clock hands of Big Ben are blue, not the back, which was discovered during the restoration process.

This 177-year-old clock tower has been repaired so far at a cost of 111 million U.S. dollars. It is currently in the longest shutdown period in its entire history. The British parliamentary authorities stated: "After years of arduous protection work, the hands of the clock, now shining in the original Victorian color scheme, will be added to the dial, and the restored mechanism will be returned later this year [Elizabeth] Tower" in April. "Early next year, the bells including Big Ben will be reconnected to the original Victorian clock mechanism and will ring through Westminster again," the parliamentary authorities continued. "Then the gantry that protects the Palace of Westminster and supports the complex scaffolding structure throughout the project will be removed before the site is completely cleared by next summer." Lindsay Hoyle said: "Although we all desire the sound of Big Ben to mark time , And hope to remove the scaffolding from the tower-I think we will all reach an agreement at the unveiling ceremony next year, and our patience is worth it." The Speaker of the House of Commons said in a statement this week. In troubled times, it seems that everyone can use Big Ben to come back.
