The clock is renowned for its accuracy
and even survived a dozen attacks by Luftwaffe bombers during the Second World War,
continuing to mark the time within one and a half seconds of GMT .
It has, however been late on occasion .
In 1962 snow accumulation caused the clock to ring in the new year ten minutes late
and in 1976 the clock stopped when a piece of its machinery broke .
It also ground to a halt on April 30, 1997,
just 24 hours before the general election and once more three weeks later .
Big Ben is the name of the clock's 13-tonne bell,
which was named after Sir Benjamin Hall,
the British Commissioner of Works at the time of the clock's construction .
The official name for the Gothic tower in which Big Ben nestles is St Stephen's Tower .
Standing 100 metres (315ft) tall it was completed in 1858,
after an 1834 fire destroyed most of the Palace of Westminster.
