Queen Elizabeth Gets Her Own Tower (In Other Words, She's Actually Nabbed 'Big Ben')

It's always fun to have something named after you -- but, what if that thing is already famous?

In honor of Queen Elizabeth's "Diamond Jubilee," British parliament members announced that they'll rename Big Ben after the Queen.

We love the fact that the Brits get super-excited about celebrating the Queen's 60th anniversary as monarch and all, but we kind of like the name "Big Ben."

We're not sure we want it to change!



DiD yOu KnOw? ... Victoria Tower, which is across from Big Ben at the Palace of Westminster, was also named for a monarch -- think Queen Victoria. She and Queen Elizabeth are the only two Britsh monarchs who have been able to celebrate 60 years on the throne.
