Prior to the day, Crediton ringer Robin Lavery, said: “In common with the band at Westminster Abbey, the team members are all members of the Ancient Society of College Youths. This is a self-governing organisation and membership is by invitation only.
“Needless to say only the very best ringers receive an invitation.
“Although London-based they encourage membership from all over the world and we do indeed have four members here at Crediton, albeit no longer active with the ASCY.
