The 'Big Ben's Final Chimes' meme highlights the cultural and historical weight of London's most famous clock tower falling silent. While it originally referred to the four-year renovation period starting in 2017, the meme evolved to represent any situation where time has finally run out or a long-standing tradition is coming to an end. It is frequently used in 'doomposting' or to satirize the British public's obsession with the 'BONG' sound. Users often pair the image of the tower with captions about inevitable deadlines, political shifts, or simply the sound itself echoing into the void.
