Tower of London 5 of 5

[@tonybmw5785]

If you're in London this is probably the most entertaining guided tour you can do. I've been on the Yeoman tour more times than I can count, and I've enjoyed it every time, yes even when I been shepherding my class of school kids. Well worth taking if you're visiting the Tower.

The great Bill Callaghan, total legend

[@lordkorner]

Thank you so much for this,it beats anything offered on tv these day. The Yeoman warder is a natural entertainer as well as been an excellent and informative guide...

[@0321Sjoerd]

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!

[@anghinetti]

0321Sjoerd: The Tower of London is not a museum - it is a royal palace and a fortress.

[@rsrvideo9797]

this man should get a tv show himself !!! I would watch all of it !!!

[@darrensowerby5631]

Brilliant my son learnt more watching this than at school

[@melissaleigh5220]

Great expectations got sooo lost 😂😂😂

[@MikeHuntagape]

Hear Hear ! :) And the guides are so entertaining, I just couldn't take my attention away for a second!

[@anghinetti]

MikeHuntagape: They are yeoman Warders who conduct guided tours rather than being tour guides.

[@alexfoulds1491]

Bill Callahan is fantastic! Check out some of his public speeches

[@drewfisher1619]

Where can I watch them

[@alunturner6919]

This chap is brilliant at the art of giving information.

[@martinshea7673]

That will be because as a Warrant Officer he was a brilliant teacher.

[@davidmiller6728]

wonderful. watched him twice

[@ukwide1]

They are properly known as Yeoman Warders, Constables of the Tower and during my time in MoD whilst working for the office of the Provost Marshal (Army) (Chief Constable of the Military Police) in the mid 80's I used to issue new Yeoman Warders with their Warrant Cards, which I assume they still carry today! Great guys and most had a wicked sense of humour.....(ex Military, says it all)

[@emptyangel]

I didn't mean to imply negatively when I used the word ignorant. Most are oblivious to the fact that the the guards are real life soldiers, and that they are on public duties a few months at a time in-between doing whatever operational soldiers do. All I want is for people to show them the respect they deserve. If that makes me a pompous know-it-all then so be it.

[@emptyangel]

Thanks for the upload, this guy is awesome.

[@melissaleigh5220]

Well , you can catch me falling anyday 😂👌 Amazing fun education for all ages and abilities X Super proud

[@michaeltalbot8242]

He should be presenting history programs!

[@Mikesaniceguy]

Watched all 5. Thanks :)

[@brianwalmsley2156]

DON'T EVER FORGET THAT THESE GUYS, 'HAVE-BEEN-IN-THE-SHADOW-OF-THE-VALLEY-OF-DEATH', THESE ARE ''YESTERDAYS-HEROES' MEN WHO HAVE SERVED AND FOUGHT THEIR COUNTRY. AND SEEN THEIR MATES DIE, YOU CANNOT GET THE JOB UNLESS YOUV'E BEEN AN EXEMPLARY WARRIOR. WELL DONE THAT MAN,

[@Cyermyer]

Thanks for sharing

[@JoMoMoss]

If this guy doesn't get his very own BBC show I WILL eat the 'Cat's' breakfast ..... just BRILLIANT!!!!! :-)

[@emptyangel]

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. *salute*

[@judithhuling-cadieux1700]

actually...I'm interested in the history...not the jewels...but the History grabs me...AWESOME Tour!!

[@WPUpioneer]

Crown copyright?? What could be copyrighted in there?

[@PROTEK123]

@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.

[@Janey6511]

That American woman saying he's still single in the background, no sense of humour, they don't understand the British sense of humour at all.

[@Janey6511]

No, I'm English and that doesn't sound like an English accent to me, its the way she pronounces 'He's' at the beginning, definately American or maybe Canadian.

[@Janey6511]

Nope its not English, its definitely American or Canadian. I'm not getting into an argument with you about it, you have your opinion and I have mine and its definitely not an English accent.

[@MissLizaMay]

I'm American and I'd date him in a heartbeat.

[@domEastCoast]

Just have to look at American comedy to realise how shit their sense of humour is.

[@bogomir67]

Can somebody please award him some comedy price?

[@anghinetti]

Thomas Bogel: Think he might prefer a prize rather than a price....

[@marcoreagan1605]

We look forward to the new Monarchy coming in to power! G-D save the King! Long live the King! It is a GREAT HONOUR to serve{even under the mental health ACT 1983}

[@Eleglas]

Not really. There's a historical reason to it. The Yeoman Warders were once paid by the King in beef which was a great delicacy at the time and very expensive and the name Beefeater was born soon after.

[@MissLizaMay]

well that's a common theory. The truth is nobody's quite certain. Bill said himself that they aren't sure.

[@MDkid1]

"He's still single"...LOL

[@bonybackbailey]

bit snarky.

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

It was just a butthurt female comment but it demonstrated she had to get a last word in didn't she, couldn't keep quiet! xD

[@bonybackbailey]

She missed the satirical comedy style and got personal.

[@camtheorganman]

They HATE HATE HATE IT when called a beefeater. It is basically calling them fat.

[@MissLizaMay]

not really. They get a free liter of beefeater gin every year on their birthdays :)
