A BRIDE to be is going to be on tenterhooks for the next week or so in the run up to a nationwide vote to win £60,000 which will mean 300 year-old church bells will be repaired in time for her wedding.

The historic bells at Westbury-on-Severn, the heaviest ring of six in the whole of Gloucestershire, have been silent since about 2005 because of worn bearings.

But there's now a chance they could win a face off TV phone vote on June 27. The reward being £60,000 which will go towards structural works which will mean the bells could peal out for the Queen's Jubilee and for Zara Kibble's wedding in September 2012.

Zara, 24, is hoping to follow in the footsteps of mother, Jayne, who married at Westbury-on-Severn in 1983. Hubbie to be is Gareth Casey and, believe ir or not, the Westbury bells are on Zara's mobile!

To help Westbury on Severn Bell Tower Appeal win funding you must vote by phone between 9am and midnight on June 27, 2011. The voting phone number will be advertised on the Westbury church website, Jubilee People's Millions and in the Daily Mirror on the day. A short video about the project and the competing project will also be shown on the ITV regional news between 6.00pm and 6.30pm.
