The only thing is: the bell will still ring on special occasions. So, it's technically not going to be silent for the next four years. Nonetheless, a group of MPs with nothing better to do decided to hold a silent vigil. It's not like the country's in the midst of Brexit chaos.

The vigil's ringleader Stephen Pound MP told the Telegraphthe vigil intended to mark the passing of "something that you don't know you've got until it's gone."
"There are a group of us who are going to stand there with heads bowed and hope in our hearts, in supplication and sadness, marking the passing of this great tradition of ours," said Pound.
Pound even appeared to shed a tear during the vigil. But, this was likely part of an elaborate prank to troll the media during silly season.

Peter Bone MP seemed to take the vigil very seriously indeed when questioned by Sky News about his priorities. "Why are we damaging one of the most iconic symbols of Britain," he asked.
But, when Sky journalist Lewis Goodall mentioned the recent Grenfell Tower disaster, and asked Bone whether he'd attended a vigil there, Bone declared him "naughty" for asking such a question.
"MPs are sending a signal about what they care about and where they show up," Goodall said.

Even the Prime Minister Theresa May spoke out about this apparent crisis saying it "can't be right" for the clock to fall silent for four years.
It seems many MPs may have an entirely different set of priorities to its public. While we're wondering what the future holds for Brexit Britain, our elected representatives are pretending to cry about a clock.
Silly season has reached a new low.
