Hello.
To JEC for posting this, without my knowledge or consent, I say thank you, it has made people laugh, it pleases me no end, there are many that didn't enjoy the commentary and to those I say that's okay, I do hope it's not put you off a visit to the Tower, there's such a lot more to see and do.
However you feel, feel free to comment but please; there's nothing to Argue or get Angry about, so be nice.
Happy Christmas & New Year
Ps I'm on the same gig tomorrow!
You're an inspiration to all tour guides. I guess some people don't get the humour of the British Isles.
Just stumbled across this, wonderfull stuff sir.
Thanks for your service, SgtMaj. Also thanks for your brilliant commentary and positive and cheerful presence in service of the Crown.
Legendary
Brilliant! Shame you had to wait 8 years for a reply! Love your humour
British humor at its best.. if only my history lessons had this bloke as the teacher.
He's a legend! Love the English sense of humour
If my teachers had been like this I would've paid attention at school!
boolago
Me too.
I'd nominate this chap for a Knighthood... utterly outrageous in a highly amusing way, excellent ambassador, finely tuned comic timing
My mother was in the army with this wonderful man in the 80s
He was my best man in 1985. I was his best man a few years later.
I love it! This guy is fantastic. How refreshing to hear some digs at a few nationalities for a laugh, just like we used to do. It's only in fun, and not malicious. It's a sad world now where we can't laugh at each other and with each other any more without everyone being offended. This man winds the clock back. What a great character!
This man deserves a BAFTA. Totally brilliant, if history lessons were like this at school, I am sure far more interest and 'historians'.
Good on yer Sgt.Maj.
I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful man last year when I volunteered to help plant the poppies. He came down and met us, had photos taken and was honestly a person that made me incredibly proud to be British. Such a kind and friendly man and a credit to his service. Thank you so much. X
+liz sewell We had him, too. Keenly witty!
A true English gentleman.British sense of humour.Wonderful!
Thank you Liz. The Poppies were such a great event and a very special time.
@@stellagrau8871 an Irish gentleman
I loved it. My favourite dig was about the empty pages on French history books. And I'm French. I'd love to have a pint with this guy.
We were fortunate enough to have Bill as a guide in September '14. It was my wife's birthday and he posed for a photo with her after his guided tour. His tour alone justified the entry fee. He brought history to life.
William Edward Callaghan is priceless, my kind of humor, love it.
This guy is hilarious and tells it like it should. He kept everyone amused and well informed and everyone was paying attention to him. We need more like him. He's a star!
As a Londoner born and bred, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this at all but I absolutely loved it. Haven't been to the Tower since I was a child and this brought back so many happy memories. I'm going to go again now!
Right now I'm a warrant officer departing service in less than 12, this guy makes me want to head to London and hand in my application LEGEND !!!
Tough-to-beat humor, I must admit! I'm returning to London soon, hope to say hi to him once again!
omg i just went to London yesterday tower to i see no no ghost
What a fantastic person. He really has the ability to deliver the facts and entertain. Peter Kaye watch out!
I never tire of watching this, brilliant.
I never tire of this man and his type of humour!
I have been to the tower today with my dad, and it made our day after previously watching the clips of bill that we got him as our guide!
Genius! This guy is utterly hilarious. Love the ultra-dry humour!!
This guy is really fantastic, I love it, he's so funny and a brilliant speaker. If my history teachers at school had been more like this I'd have loved the subject!
funnier than most of todays comedians put together … brilliant!
This man should be on TV. He's utterly brilliant! What a wonderful way to learn history.
So glad to hear Bill is still there, watched this video and loved it! Could watch it over and over again.
"You want men in skirts... Scotland." Hahaha classic! It's his deadpan expression that's the best!
A great advert for the country and for the British Army. It's men like this who possess great character, personality, humour, intellect, recall and sheer presence that characterise all that's best about the British people. If ever history could be made fascinating and memorable here's the man to teach it. My sides are still hurting from laughter - absolutely unspeakably brilliant.
Love this....specially the bit about history only being written by the victorious!.........
Gotta love this guy, the French history book joke was CLASSIC!
Love that smirk at the end of the video there
Had me in stitches. I'll have to make a trip to London to see him.Keep up the great work. Brilliant!!!
I went on this same tour when I was in London two years ago! It was great! The guides there are fantastic (:
Loved his "Pantomime Villain" turn.....Scaring the bairns, and rightly so. :D Funny bloke, best of British. He is a Legend.
Hail Him!
:D
Liz: maybe that's why this series is so popular.
Ok I absolutely have to meet him if I ever get the chance to visit! Totally made my day 😂😂
British humour at its finest. Brilliant. Bravo sir.
He is, like all the other Yeoman Warders, a former Warrant Officer in Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and is merely continuing the craft he perfected during his tenure as a Sergeant Major.
He demonstrates perfectly the calibre and quality of soldiery.
Well done Sir!
Really, really clever stuff. One of the best talks/guides I've ever seen. Just brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it. He's a popular event speaker now too, I hear.
I really hope that the Queen has seen this. A man who has served his country many times over and continues to do so through educational humour. I learnt more about history from watching his videos than I did throughout my whole education.
He should publish bedtime stories for young children.
We just returned from a family trip to London and was AMAZED by this man just this past Friday (18 FEB 11) when we visited the Tower of London. These clips are almost word for word, what we experienced with the "charm" of Yeoman Bill Callaghan (who now sports his nicely trimmed reddish beard). Our young daughters took quite a fright to him though, but my wife and I LOVED HIM! Yeoman Callaghan is one-in-a-million and holds nothing back! We need more of this man in America!
John, I believe Bill continues to be a great dinner speaker. I wish I had the kind of "delivery" talent he obviously has!
I know this man personally and can confirm he has Irish ancestry and has always been a great comic even as a Sgt Major - well done Bill
I think Bill should be KNIGHTED! He is brilliant! He epitomises British humour at its best! I adore him!
Sweet dreams kids! Genius!
Fantastic! You can take the man out of the Army; but you can never take his humour!!
The truly best of Btitish.
He’s so funny! I’ve watched this so many times and actually learnt from it as well!
Thank you for your entertaining lesson. You are a legend.
I'm going there next month. I hope this guy is still around, he's hilarious!
Wow, I gotta go across the pond and see this guy live!
Glad you enjoyed it. I guess about one and a half million others agree as well!
Simply excellent!
I loved this, so refreshing to see someone these days who isnt afraid to make jokes without worrying about being Politcally Correct. Also a great way to teach history and make it memorable. I have recomended these videos to all my friends and family, thank you
I would have LOVED to have had this man as my Sgt Major!
I'm half Italian and was pleased to be included in the put-downs! funnier than 90% of British comedies on TV.....probably because he isn't avoiding offending anyone!
this has got to be one of the best you tube viewings, along with the other 3. He is amazing. Better than any history teacher I ever had. Fantastic
This guy is tremendous. If his 'superiors' are giving him a hard time they should get a grip. This guy is fantastic. If anyone takes offence they ought to harden up. He is genuinely funny and witty and a great asset to the institution for which he works. He is the sort of soldier who would have been a fantastic instructor. He is a communicator par excellence. There aren't enough of them around.
The ultimate tour guide!
Love him !! Plain talking, we need more of him.
Superb - a compelling history lesson. Arguably some of the best 12+ minutes of work time I've ever wasted. @Your Highness, that man deserves another medal!
Happy to say Bill returned to work today and will be back on tours tomorrow!
I could listen to that man talk all day. He made education fun for that group, it's likely they'll never forget him. And with good reason.
What a brilliant and amazing speaker! I'm planning a trip to London and a visit to the tower is on my list. Love these stories!
This an absolutely brilliant series. Thanks so much for sharing it !
Give that man a Knighthood!
I discovered this vid several months ago and I keep going back to it...As a mountain guide I'm always looking for tips and hints on how to do it better...
this man is now my Guide Guru.. :)
and he's Irish too.....gotta love it...reminds me of my Company Sargent in the Irish Reserves.....great stuff.
Mr Callaghan, masterfully done, I have learnt more about history in these short vid's than i ever did at school...Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting all four segments. They're wonderful!
This is as hysterically funny as it is informed - brilliant! The timing and delivery is spot on. Well done
Magnificent! A tour de force. Long may he run. Thanks for posting.
I think Bill would like this particular comment. Don't know if he still checks out all the comments any longer or not, but well said!
It's like a real life character from Monty Python
Wonderful. I took my children to visit the Tower and these guides are the best laugh ever. Never forgotten it and great to relive it through this video and part 1.
Brilliant. what a funny, funny man!! now I want to visit London just to see this guy!! Thanks for sharing this video!
What a brilliant guide. Top job enjoyed every minute and learned a little history I was unaware of.
So very funny and informative as well. Could have listened to him for another hour. Yeoman of the guard are very lucky to have such a funny, witty person.
He won't keep that job long. With any luck, someone will hire him and send him to Comedy Central and he will soar into the land of amazingly funny people. His delivery is pure class. He never smiled once
I love this!!! That guy is just brilliant!! Thanks for sharing it.
Fantastic, a breath of fresh air...
Keep it up SIR!!!!!!
It's guys like this who enhance and enliven visits to London's greatest places of interest. I learned more from this Yeoman Warder in 12 minutes than I did in 7 years with Miss Morant!
Brilliant,, I haven't been to the tower of London for 30 years, this guy has made me want to visit this historical land mark once again. I hope we get Bill as our tour guide
I was honoured to be royally entertained by your brilliant tour Yeoman Warden Callaghan at the beginning of July, you are indeed a national treasure Sir and I will definitely return for another tour next time I'm in London, I hope you are the guide next time, thanks for the memories :D
Thank you for posting this and the others in the series.... educational, entertaining and thoroughly brilliant! I hope that this bloke is seen by many, via your video, and then goes to hear him at the Tower. MINT!
I'd gladly pay "top rate" to travel from the United States to England to see Yeoman Warder Callaghan performing his craft! Well done, sir!
None of the tourists laughed at the phrase "tradesman's entrance" - he slipped that in
Incredible! Wonderful! Thank you for posting.
Again, well said! Bill should be honored to be compared with those guys!
Brilliant ,best thing I've seen on TH-cam in ages .
I'm delighted so many of you like this. In fact, since so many of you love humor, I'm soon going to post some videos I did with my mother and aunt, who are really funny as well...
This guy is a star. Loved the vid thank you.
this made me laugh out loud....I must get to london again and go on his tour
Love the bit about the French history book! Excellent wit!!
This is hands down the best tour by a tourguide of anything or anywhere I've ever watched. One day I will do this tour! One day! Hopefully it will be under Bill!
Great to see someone who knows his stuff and loves his job.
Wow. Not only historically informative, but funny to boot! Makes what he tells you easy to remember and a great show. I would be SO delighted to find him as my docent for the price of a ticket. Great!
We come to London the second week each December! Just wanted to meet the new "international star" and have a good laugh once again!
I love this - keep returning to watch it - Best Of British etc, thanks for posting :-D
This is absolutely brilliant!
Good old British banter
Bill!
I'm coming to London soon again. Sorry we missed you the last time. Anybody with even a HINT of humor in them well understands how hilarious you were. Keep up the great work!
Excellent. certainly knows how to hold an audience's attention. Highly enjoyable indeed
