To mark Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne, Big Ben is to be remaned 'Elizabeth Tower'.
The iconic landmark is officially called 'Clock Tower' but is more commonly known by the name 'Big Ben', which is actually the name of the bell inside the tower.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the news, however public reaction was mixed, with almost half the respondents to a Yougov survey opposed the change.
