At 7.15p.m. churches in central Cambridge, including the University Church Great St Mary's, rang touches of 800 changes especially composed for the occasion by Clare College alumnus Phil Earis.
Additionally, a light show was projected onto Senate House and Old Schools from 17 January to 19 January.
