09:00 Saturday morning, 11th July, before I had gone out to buy the Independent, there was a news item on the radio that indicated it was 150 years to the day since the chimes of the Great Bell in the clock tower of the current Palace of Westminster (Houeses of Parliament) were first heard. I said to my wife, more in jest than anything else, that there would be a crossword this weekend based on that anniversary.

I guessed that some squares would be left blank and looking at the few answers I had and symmetry I went for an square arch. So, Marble Arch or L’Arc de Triomphe? I didn’t worry for now but tried a few more clues and confirmed the shape quite quickly.
