Big Ben is going away. It will be renamed after the Queen in an attempt to match the only other Diamond Jubilee, when the other end of Westminster was renamed Victoria Tower.
I guess there is some symmetry in that, though about as much as the unveiling of Bush 43's portrait, a George W. at each end.
...And
"England swings like a pendulum do,
Bobbies on bicycles, two-by-two,
Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben,
The rosy red cheeks of the little children"
...Just won't work anymore.
