Sinead, good to see you again. When I make it to the UK someday you will be my first choice for a tour guide, with coffee's of course. This tour was enjoyable, great narration and just the right amount of information, top notch job. OOP's break's over, back to work.....

Don’t get in trouble with the boss watching my videos Lovely as always to hear from you Mike Sinead

[@Sparkles12340]

Thank you for the fascinating tour, Sinead. The de la pole family are remembered very much in Yorkshire (Hull) area. (My home city) The family held huge swathes of land - they are still remembered in Hull by street names ie. De La Pole avenue & de la pole hospital . Margaret de la pole was considered to be one of the last elderly stalwarts dating from the wars of the roses whose family line could oppose the Tudor claim for the throne. Henry felt at the time that there was a significant threat from this family and supporters. I think of “A man for all seasons” stunning film about Sir Thomas More when I watched your tour. Fabulous!

I know they had very few means of entertainment, but I just can’t get my head around how executions were a form of entertainment for the masses. 😢

Terrifying isn’t it Thanks as always for your amazing loyal following Sineadb

I can't see a beefeater, I can, however, see a Yeoman Warder

[@FreeToursbyFootLondon]

Some people just can't deal with it.

[@leary210275]

Hard to miss aren’t they ? Thanks for watching Sinead

Thanks for this tour. I lived for a while in London and visited the Tower but never saw half of this. I feel especially sad for the Second World War German spy hanged in the Tower. He was only doing his duty, as he saw it, by his country. I think he was the spy mentioned by the hangman Albert Pierrepont, who hanged him, in Pierrepont's autobiography. He was mentioned surprisingly unsympathetically. Pierrepont clearly didn't see it my way. Perhaps enduring a war hardens one's outlook. I also feel sad for Margaret de la Pole. I suspect the story about her running from the executioner is either a gross exaggeration or a totally fabricated tale put about by the Tudors. I've heard it said that at that time being afraid to die was seen as a sign of not daring to face God's judgement and the story put her in a bad light. I think Henry VIII not only took her life but took away her good name after death as well.

The spy (Josef Jakobs) was shot in the firing range at the tower in 1941

13 years locked in the tower with his wife and children...never again should a simple man need to endure such inhumanity.

It was barbaric wasn’t it

Did u fix it Dwight ? Sinead

[@virginiagobetz9084]

Aren't ALL deaths final?

[@FreeToursbyFootLondon]

Good catch. We haven't laughed about that one in some time.

[@virginiagobetz9084]

Why is the area around the Roman wall so terribly overgrown?

[@jackyglazebrook5707]

Wouldn't you think the council would keep it looking clean like they do in other countries.

[@FreeToursbyFootLondon]

I didn’t notice it being dirty
