The tower housing Big Ben is to be renamed the Elizabeth Tower in honour of the Queen, the House of Commons has confirmed.

It follows a campaign, backed by most MPs and the three main party leaders, to rename the tower in recognition of the Queen's 60 year reign.

At present the famous central London landmark is described by the Palace of Westminster as the Clock Tower.

Meh...
People will still call it Big Ben even though it isn't (and never has been).

I've always corrected my foreign friends when they've called it Big Ben, now I will not. In fact if any of them call it the Elizabeth Tower I'll tell them it is incorrect.

Viva la republic! :)

The article did mention that the King's Tower was renamed to Victoria Tower.

Aren't you supposed to wait until someone's dead before you name something after them?
