I was a soldier, and believe me this mans troops would had followed him anywhere he had the wit to inspire and lead to great affect which all soldier love and respect...
kevin brigginshaw : I was a police officer. We had many bosses we would have followed to the ends of the earth - out of sheer curiosity to see where their stupidity would lead us next.
Sexist, racist, politically incorrect loud mouth - and absolutely BRILLIANT!!! and a privilege to listen to and watch - have watched all four videos and must thank also the person who posted them absolutely fantastic. Give this guy another medal for being everything that is good about Britian.
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.
Not a lot of people know this but this Yeoman Warder is Bill Callaghan. He has been told off by the management of the Tower for his non PC manner. If you like Bill's style drop him a line at the Tower and let him know. Guys like him need our support.
If this is the best humour available on the whole internet, if not the world. It is done with grace style and honesty and the guy and his colleagues are the most decent and genuine people i have met. Anyone who is 'offended' should be ashamed and maybe reflect on what these guys have done in their life.
Received one part on a FB post today and was so impressed I tracked down the others. What a delight and pleasure to spend an hour or so in this gentleman's company.
NO!, you are completely wrong!!. Bill Callaghan reminds me of my high school science teacher, MISS Hutchins. Incredibly beautiful, (sorry Bill, not you), but rivetingly engaging, we all hung on to, leaned forward to hear her every word. I'm 63 now, and wayyyyy back when I was 15-16, Miss Hutchins was beauty personified. Beauty of eye, beauty of word, beauty of knowledge, which she imparted in all her classes, with infectious enthusiasm, MAGNIFICIENT expression, and a voice to die for.
This man is truly amazing, I missed him by a whisker last year due to heavy rain at the Tower, not knowing what I missed, how I wished I stood with him.
Why is this man not on our television screens!?! Where are the talk show lackies from both sides of 'The Pond'? Britain's Got Talent - damned right, right here! Book him now & pay him lots of money - you know it makes sense!
Thrilled to find this is still on youtube, I downloaded it years ago but lost it when a virus hit the computer. Found it again & this time saving it, very enjoyable. Thanks.
This guy is magic. He says how it is (or was). No nonsense granny state then. This is life as history was. I really respect the message he is sending out.
Its not often you find and Orator and historian of this calibre, not to mention a highly decorated soldier in his own wright...a .bloody genious, history was never my strong point but i have learnt more in these four episodes than i had learnt in many years at the Fagan;s academy the called my school. Thank you so much for putting this up. Respects.
Thanks for these postings (4) How good it is to hear someone speak with little or no regard for the 'namby pamby' P.C. element of this world. Long may he continue to educate and entertain. Hope he's still there! I think a trip to London is overdue!!!
Thanks for uploading this brilliant video series (I've just watched all 4 and will view them again next time I want a good laugh) - the warder's delivery and timing was superb better in my opinion than some professional comedians. Brilliant filming too - I've seen worse when a full film crew was used. I feel sure that this will become a TH-cam classic.
I did I'm Irish and all the Yeomen Warders have a great sense of humour. Would love to return for another tour.but im now on a walker,so don't know if I would make it. They all have their own Spiel all are great. My cousin met one of them when in a pub having a pint one night. He said it was the most enjoyable part of his holiday. They are gifted
Thanks for posting the four video's. I spen rather a lot of my life doing guard duty at the tower and never came accross a guy like him, very funny. Thanks.
I never attended my history class while at school, this was due to the worlds most dull man quoting dates to me. Had this man have been my teacher i belive that I would have picked history as my degree
Thanks for posting the four video's. I spent rather a lot of my life doing guard duty at the tower and never came accross a guy like him, very funny. Thanks.
Brilliant! What a fantastic speaker, he conveys enthusiasm and projects leadership....to add dry humour is a special talent that he has but so many try for yet fail. And for such a veteran and obviously respected former soldier I see that he does not have a wall of ribbon on display that is so common amongst other forces. Only the real stuff, no medals for the small stuff...MOD at its best.
Absolutely brilliant, he's a star. Entertaining, engaging and knows how to keep an audiences' attention. What a cracking chap. So enjoyed all four parts, thank you for posting these. I want to go there now!
Just watched all 4 parts of this , Bill is a fantastic advert for the tower , i'm visiting the tower next week i hope he still works there i would love to meet him :)
The humour is called "taking the piss". Bill Bryson has observed Americans do not have an equivalent expression. It is a particular type of British humour.
#2. Yes, I'm still in love with her, as we all were, and still are. To have had a Miss Hutchins in my schooling I cound myself beyond incredibly fortunate. Because of her, I, and my family, have travelled this beautiful blue Planet, she planted the seed of knowledge within me, - all of us. A demanding, thirsty seed, that needed to drink of knowledge to flower, it demanded the sustenance that is seeing, feeling, hearing, doing. We grew, saw, wondered, and learnt, for Miss Hutchins.
I think this guy is incredible and amazingly funny. He is certainly inspiring me to take my American wife to London - she has never been there and it has been a long time since I was there. We should have many many more people like him, mainly to poke one in the eye on the PC brigade. Many many thanks for posting a wonderful show. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
As a young child I went to the Tower on a school trip, it was sooo boring. Thank you for putting this on YT.... I have watched all 4 of your vids and laughed out loud to all of them. I am slightly amazed though that no one said thank you, or shook the Yeomans hand; whatever the entry fee is nowadays, that man has singlehandedly made me want to visit the Tower ... this time it would be money well spent.
Love his patter. I know there are some good guides around who keep you entertained and keep you informed at the same time. There is a good Duo at Bolsover Castle, Morecame and Wise style. This is the way to guide. Good job Bill, .
What a fantastic tour! I watched them all, and have to say that he is awesome. I work in a tudor house and would love to have him come do a talk. WOW, laughed so much throught that, thank you so much for sharing him. xx
When I went to Dublin June last year, we had a young attractive brunette giving us a Tour of the castle. She was just a as funny. Tour guides like them are legends, and really make the trip worthwhile! :)
did the tower a few years ago our beefeater asked the audience where you were from and noted the mass murders and psychopaths that were from your area when they found I was from Wisconsin the list he regurgitated seemed endless. He also asked that I stop videotaping him after the first stop Thanks for posting this It brings back some fond memories
Wow....thanks to all for your many kind comments. This fellow was so funny we could hardly stop laughing! I just returned from a trip and will try to post replies to many of your comments. I guess I need to make a DVD of the series!
The name Beefeater is of uncertain origin, with various proposed derivations. The most likely one[1] is considered to be from the Warders' right to eat as much beef as they wanted from the King's table. Various historical commentators have noted a preference for beef among the Warders and the Yeomen of the Guard. It is theoretically possible that these professions enjoyed rich, hearty broths as well.
I can only reiterate previous comments....thanks jec0066 for filming and posting and MANY thanks to Yeoman Warder Bill Callaghan for the most entertainingly historical (or should that be hysterical) tour I've ever seen or watched !!! I received part 2 via an e-mail link and just had to watch all 4 parts. Thanks again
Brilliant stuff. What a fine example of unbiased wit combined with a great way of making history come to live. Well done to him and well done to jec0066 for filming it and posting it.
Very entertaining. History presented in a manner that makes it far more interesting and perhaps easier to remember...... well, the gory bits will be remembered. "Off with 'er 'ead"
@jec0066 Thank you so very much for posting all 4 parts of your tour... I have pasted them on my facebook pge for all my friends to enjoy... He is BRILLIANT and I would definitely pay, to tour the Tower of London with him as the guide... SIMPLY BRILLIANT, WITTY and VERY FUNNY... :0)X
Wonderful to watch and see we can still have a a laugh, unfortunately I couldn't get away with most of that where I work, but outside of work, that's another story! There's the mention of American sense of humour against British, listening to the crowd there didn't seem a problem, the Americans seemed to be having a good laugh, I think our sense of humours are very similiar. Thanks for posting.
thank you soooo much. thoroughly enjoyed all 4 parts!! my daughter is off to London this coming Sunday. I'm going to tell her about this. thanks again!!
This Yeoman Warder's name is Bill Callaghan - a delightful fellow. It was a delight to make this series. I may even develop a DVD of it after I learn how to use Apple's Final Cut Studio professional movie software. For now, enjoy!

@@stevetaylor9846 Different level....
@@stevetaylor9846 😂😂😂😂😂
That was legendary, the crowd really didn't reflect how brilliant this man is at giving tours. Dry, straightforward British humour.
Happy to say Bill returned to work today and will be back on tours tomorrow!

Truly Brilliant historian. If only it were like this in school.

How can you not love this guy?
Legend.
Never tire of watching this man, visited a year or so ago but unfortunately he wasn't on duty. Fabulous humour!
If this man had been my history teacher at school - I'd have wanted to stay at school ! Terrific stuff !
Why is this man not on our television screens!?! Where are the talk show lackies from both sides of 'The Pond'? Britain's Got Talent - damned right, right here! Book him now & pay him lots of money - you know it makes sense!
Men like him make great army instructors.
Thrilled to find this is still on youtube, I downloaded it years ago but lost it when a virus hit the computer. Found it again & this time saving it, very enjoyable. Thanks.
My wife and I did a tour with him last May and he is wonderful: Great historical perspective and humor.

Saw this yoeman on NY eve 2011 and he was the best part of the Tower of London experience. Funny and very informative.
Thanks for posting the four video's. I spen rather a lot of my life doing guard duty at the tower and never came accross a guy like him, very funny. Thanks.
SO BRILLIANT
Oh, I wish I'd have been there!

How lovely, they say you never forget a good teacher.
This guy tells it as it was!! Funny and endearing!! he can't be paid enough!!
Brilliant set of videos showing a superb performance, many thanks.
Excellent, thanks for posting. What a great guy.

Excellent series of videos, thanks. The warder was brilliant, amusing, entertaining and informative.
Just watched all 4 parts of this , Bill is a fantastic advert for the tower , i'm visiting the tower next week i hope he still works there i would love to meet him :)

Fun to watch all four. I had been to The Tower back in 1981.
Glad you enjoyed it!
#2. Yes, I'm still in love with her, as we all were, and still are.
To have had a Miss Hutchins in my schooling I cound myself beyond incredibly fortunate.
Because of her, I, and my family, have travelled this beautiful blue Planet, she planted the seed of knowledge within me, - all of us.
A demanding, thirsty seed, that needed to drink of knowledge to flower, it demanded the sustenance that is seeing, feeling, hearing, doing.
We grew, saw, wondered, and learnt, for Miss Hutchins.
Because of these videos, my boyfriend and I are going to the Tower in a few weeks :)
utterly brilliant and such entertainment with history and a great sense of humour!
Thanks for posting these videos.
This man is a national treasure and he should be heftily rewarded!
Brilliant!!! Thank you for the 4 part tour of the tower! I particularly liked the closing remarks by the Yeoman!
This guy is GREAT!! I hope that I see him someday. Thank you for posting these; I've seen all four...
I think this guy is incredible and amazingly funny. He is certainly inspiring me to take my American wife to London - she has never been there and it has been a long time since I was there. We should have many many more people like him, mainly to poke one in the eye on the PC brigade.

Absolutely brilliant - loved it!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful tour. What an absolute treat.
Tony
I've always wanted to see the Tower, but it would be more than worth going just to hear this guy first hand! :D
Loved this....well done Bill Callaghan !! Credit to the Yeoman guard, the military and the UK.
Brilliant. This man is fabulous
I hope I get him as my guide when I visit the tower, brilliant.
Love his patter. I know there are some good guides around who keep you entertained and keep you informed at the same time. There is a good Duo at Bolsover Castle, Morecame and Wise style. This is the way to guide. Good job Bill,

Absolutely fantastic - had me in stitches!!!! Thanks for posting these!
absolutely fantastic, excellent advert for our boys
we need more people like him, or similar personality :)

This is the only thing I have ever seen that's made me want to go to London, and it may be the only thing I need to see to make me do such a thing.
This is awesome. This man is a great speaker/teacher. Thanks for uploading.
this guy is amazing. made a subject which I don't really care about really interesting. great sense of humor.
Absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing your history with us ;)
Still haven't gotten the chance to visit the Tower! Hopefully next time I'm in London.
God Bless you sir!! Legend
Thanks so much for sharing this!
