Tower of London - funny guided tour

[@wildbill118]

Thanks so much for posting this, I’ve had to retire now due to old bones. It cheers me up to see these now and again!

[@Leviwosc]

You gave great tours ! I really like the no-nonsense attitude and wit you display. Although you're retired now, I hope you're in good health. Thank you for your tours !

[@perrysmith1838]

You sir are a legend

[@heathermhamilton]

You are the loveliest tour guide I’ve ever watched. A little sad that someday when I’m able to visit the tower you won’t be there to lead my tour.

[@Happyheart146]

I loved every minute of this! The last bit about being able to marry in the chapel is indeed a very strange irony, probably doesn't occur to many people. I hope your bones are enjoying their well earned rest! Thank you for your service sir. Catrina.

[@Pauld616]

Thank you for your service, enjoy a long and happy retirement

[@bgaviator]

These guys are so funny. I remember mine. He asked the group how many of us were Americans. Of course a few of us raise our hands. He goes...”and just think, if you all would have just paid your taxes all this lovely history could have been yours!”

[@Daniel_Lancelin]

Lmao can't even be mad. This guy's awesome.

[@-JustHuman-]

Well as a descendant of the vikings I would have said "If we actually wanted it, we would just have taken it" ;P But to be fair much of the history in Britain is also our history, as much comes from vikings that settled down there.

[@AshtenHaywood]

@@markmatiu5562 I get it completely, I'm english myself, but if you rant and rave like that against anything that you don't agree with then you're just wasting your time - in both their defenses, yes, there were English before the vikings and the vikings only settles a short amount of time, however, that period that they did settle, they made a huge impact on England (especially up north). It would be ignorant to say all of England has viking background but it just as much so to say that they didn't have any influence in our culture.

"Savages threw tea in the sea" cracked me up!

[@crabbyj]

King George, unfortunately, didn't share your sense of humor. 😉

[@mugshot749]

At the time of The Boston Tea Party the tax on tea for the people of Britain was actually higher than the Americans were paying.

[@mugshot749]

The men who threw the tea into the sea at The Boston Tea Party were not " savages", they were white men dressed up to look like Indians.

[@blackbob3358]

@@mugshot749 he meant savages in respect of "perception" at the time. he could be talking about mr revere's boys or any of the confederacy of the 5 nations.

They were not "savages " they were white men dressed up as red Indians.

Wonderful tour. The Yeoman Warder is fantastic, so very well versed in the history of the Tower. Hard to believe that America is so new compared to English historical sites. Really puts it in perspective.

[@Innawoods7614]

This is a man that has seen some stuff. He knows how the world works. I would love to take this tour. A man of wisdom not fooled by historical propaganda. I love it.

I'm pretty sure Lindy went to one of his tours and did a video on him years ago. It would take some time to go through his videos to find it but it's worth it.

[@NicholasWarnertheFirst]

Thanks for taking the trouble recording and uploading. Much appreciated.

[@mugshot749]

I remember my youngest son the first time at the age of about six the first time he saw a yeoman warder ( Beefeater) at the Tower Of London shouting "look dad a beefburger" and the guy heard him.

[@peterwhitaker4038]

when i watch BBCnewsreaders, they sit with laptops and auto screens for half an hour. William did this for an hour without scripts. and endured his public. a great GREAT man of professional means. salute you sir.

[@PerfumedByTheSea]

Pure love for the job 👌🏻

[@JWB86]

How can you compare the two ffs

[@peterwhitaker4038]

@@JWB86 well, both parties talk to the public and educate them either with history or modern news. The only point I was making was Bill didn't need notes, scripts or auto Q devices. He did it from memory and I will bow down to the fact newsreaders don't read same lines everyday. Anyway best wishes to you

[@andrewwelbeck7145]

He does say in one of the other video's that he has a degree in History

[@patriot4786]

he still has hes military gestures tho.. haha love it..

[@user-gl8qu7qf2q]

Fantastic, witty, extremely proudly British this, superb guide. Everyone on the tour fully engaged and feel welcome and slightly savaged by banter at the same time , thank you Bill

[@FloofyMinari]

wow you got to film the chapel. I've been watching dozens of these tour videos and this probably the first one with footage of the inside...that isn't a documentary of course.

[@martinez9756]

I love this so much. What a great performer. He should be knighted!

[@NicholasWarnertheFirst]

Wonderful account of the greatest Yeoman Warder. In the chapel brilliant!

[@almcdincanterbury4762]

Truly brilliant and engaging tour, I was fully captured for the whole 54 minute video which is a rarity on KZbin. I recall a former Yeoman warden occasionally come into the shop I worked in, he was always similar character to this man, no nonsense and good stories to tell. I wish I knew more about him. Cederic is a Hythe Legend.

[@biggusdickus9125]

I had this tour guide on my last visit! Such a brilliant bloke

[@jacksd8004]

When I lived in London I went to the tower soooo many times I could do this tour off by heart!!! I had a lot of friends and family visit and my boss got free tickets so we went a lot

Bit of a crime that in 500 years, its the first time they've started making redundancies amongst them. I'm sure they could of made redundancies elsewhere or paid the exec team less money during the pandemic. Especially when being redundant from this role means having to also buy a new house due to the house coming with the job.

What you have there is a typical Army sense of humour. It is mostly just like that except for the language, which is usually a lot more fruity, but that adds to the fun. Normally you roll up, this is the light version. The culture may well have changed, but the comedy is the same ..... irony :)
