Star Wars music played on Parliament Hill carillon bells
May the 4th be with you as day marked by spacey music
To mark Star Wars Day, as May the 4th has come to be known, the carillon bells inside the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill rang out the Imperial March music for Star Wars, among other space-related tunes.
You can listen to the music in the video player above.
It was part of a 15-minute carillon concert with a space theme that began at noon.
