I've been there a couple of weeks ago and had this very Warder as the tour guide. His tour was the best I ever got in a museum and the best part of my visit to London. I recently watched 'The Tudors' on tv and had to think about everything he told. If you ever come to London, visit the Tower. It is expensive, but the Yeoman Warders will make it worth every penny!
I had this Yeoman Warder as a tour guide when we went to the tower at the end of May. His interactions with the crowd are great and I've been banging on about his tour to friends ever since. Now they can see how fantastic he is :) Thank You for uploading!
What's so great about this Beefeater, is that he tells the tourists a little about the guards at the Tower of London. I hope that this will be a necessary part of the tour if it isn't already.
Because many perceive the guards to be a show-pieces and 'actors' to attract tourists.
It really grinds my gears when I come across videos of ignorant tourists disturbing the guards like mimicking them or touching them.
@emptyangel Well put .... my grandfather was also a beefeater and they are given a basic script ( dates and names etc) but they are then left alone to bring the history to life and tell it how they see it. If they made it like a school lesson it would be boring.
@emptyangel aye i know what you mean....a lot of people are very disrespectful to them. what i like is the fact that Yeomen of the Guard have the power to detain and eject like a police constable due to the nature of what they guard......so if anyone does piss em off they can actually drag them out of the tower by the scruff of their neck!
i would just like to remind everyone that their primary role is guard......they are responsible for the safety of the crown jewels. tour guiding is their secondary function.
BC is much much funnier and charismatic than most stand-up comedians.

Not a lot of people know this but this Yeoman Warder is Bill Callaghan. He has been told off by the management of the Tower for his non PC manner.
If you like Bill's style drop him a line at the Tower and let him know.
Guys like him need our support.
