Covid-19: Lloyd's rings Lutine Bell

lloyd-s

The market closed its underwriting room on Thursday afternoon in response to the coronavirus crisis.

Lloyd’s marked the closure of its London underwriting room by ringing the Lutine Bell.

The market announced earlier this week that it would shut its underwriting room at 4pm on 19 March in response to the coronavirus crisis.

The Lutine Bell was salvaged from the ship HMS Lutine, which sank in October 1799. Lloyd’s preserved the bell and it is now used for ceremonial purposes, mainly in times of great tragedy, such as 9/11.
