This is a different Beefeater than we had on our tour of the Tower, but ours was just as entertaining and delivered his stories with great gusto and made some of the girls squeal when he startled them and overall it was a fantastic and memorable day out.
Notice that the emblem on the front of his tunic says "E II R" denoting Elizabeth Regina, aka Queen Elizabeth the Second who sadly is no longer with us. I assume that as we speak the Tower authorities will be busy making new tunics denoting "C III R" or Charles Rex for King Charles the Third.
The dude's name is William Edward Callaghan. He keeps popping up on my feed and he comments on most of the videos containing him. Seems like he hasn't got to this video though. Just a btw he retired I think it was last year at least that's when the video of his retirement was posted.
Buffetiers were guards in the palace of French kings. They protected the king's food.However, the name Beefeater is more likely to have originated from the time when the Yeomen Warders at the Tower were paid part of their salary with chunks of beef. This took place right up until the 1800s.
Weve got 5 from the Royal airforce no one talks to them dont even talk to eachother :D many of my collegues are happy and some of em have children😂🤣 DO NOT UPSET THE SOILDERS do not tresspass but allow your children to explore so allow your children to explore there are lessons to be learnt😂😂😂
Gurhka's do not need to draw blood if they draw their Kukri. They use it for everything. (A point is made on the British Army website) but it sounds cool when the Guides say it.
Bill Callaghan set a high bar for all the other Yeoman Warders. His legacy is secure.
I love this man! Legend
Stand up history, Bill you are a legend Sir! You should do your own series!
This guy is phenomenal. I'd fly to London just to spend an hour with him. Great way to learn history.
It's Billy!!!! I pray that he is there when I go to London someday!
He retired last year...

He says he retired from the army as a sergeant major, he was a combat medic.

He said he retired because and I quote "his old bones" couldn't keep up.

Its just an old tradition among the gurkhas. Some of them even cut their own thumb a little bit just to respect the tradition
A Canal gate didnt work no ?
they're called "beefeaters" because as the king's trusted bodyguards, they were allowed to eat as much beef as they wanted from the kings table.
You should go to the tower of London and tell him that.
I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Actually we assume that’s the reason but we don’t actually know
