Olympic Bell, Bronze bell at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, England

The Olympic Bell measures 2 meters in height with a diameter of 3.34 meters and produces a B note when struck.

The Whitechapel Bell Foundry designed this bell for the 2012 London Olympics, while Royal Eijsbouts in the Netherlands handled the casting process.

The bell surface features an inscription from Shakespeare's The Tempest: Be not afeard, the isle is full of noises.

The bell remains in place near the Olympic Stadium but does not ring to prevent disturbance to local residents.

Twenty different companies across three countries participated in creating this bell, which required precise measurements to fit through the athletes' tunnel.

Made from material: bronze
