Beefeater Imitates Trump during guided tour around the Tower of London
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2019
- The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels; they have also conducted guided tours since the Victorian era.
Since 2011, there have been 37 Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.[1][2]
All warders are retired from the Armed Forces of Commonwealth realms and must be former warrant officers with at least 22 years of service. They must also hold the Long Service and Good Conduct medal. - Розваги

If I'd known that there was a tour guide as good as this, I'd have gone for a tour years ago. This man is brilliant at his job!
We went on the TOL tour and had the pleasure of being guided by Bill, it was the funniest, most informative guided tour we've had. He was great with all ages and really involved everyone. Bill and all the TOL yeoman are such an asset.
A sad loss to the Yeoman Warders. I sincerely hope this lovely man enjoys a long and fruitful retirement.
Excellent sense of humour, great delivery & very knowledgable
I served with Bill in the Army and he was exactly the same then a great guy.
How is he doing nowdays?
ld love to have beer and a chat with him, but will have to make do with the tour.
shame he has gone now
@@Jeffybonbon what? I'm so sorry to hear that. I adore watching videos usually by americans of his tour that was more than just a tour. An event. An awakening of storytelling of History of Comic timing. The guy was and remains on UA-cam a Legend.
My brother in laws uncle small world
This guy is not just the best tour leader in the Tower of London, he is without the doubt the best tour leader anywhere, at any time.
Legend! My wife and I rocked up at the Tower for a visit (her 60th birthday) and Bill arrived to conduct it. He entertained and insulted us for an hour. He was extremely informative as well as hilarious. We loved it! He will be a real miss. Thanks Bill, enjoy retirement.
His performance is a 'tour de force' of humour and oratory!
Man is a legend. After Bill retired, Mark is now the most entertaining Beefeater.
A learned comic and a character! Who but the British would turn a historical lecture into comic classics?
A great history lesson!
He slipped into Al Murray on several occasions in this. Excellent work, that man!
Yeah I got that as well. Just missing a bar and a pint
@@kimothy1701 What's your name squire? Kim! Beautiful, British name...
Yep, definately. Good tour guide though.
Billy is great, but I just want to put in a word for other tour guides.
LONDON HAS THE BEST TOUR GUIDES. I swear, they all have history degrees and have studied acting! Hop on any tour bus and you will learn so much, be entertained, and have a great laugh.
I can't believe how well this gentleman 'works' the crowd - and how much knowledge of history he has! :-)
My best mate growing up Tom, this is his old man. Absolute legend.
He’s now working for the Coast Guard and often tweeting his thoughts and humour, so he hasn’t retired that much.
Shame that they dont have him any more , incredible memory , eloquent and entertaining , and most of all he takes the piss out everyone , including himself . Happy Retirement
Amazing tour guide. I've watched a few of his videos, and was lucky enough to have his guidance when i visited the Tower myself with my family. Love this guy! He's amazing!
oh man I would have loved this man in history class
I’ve watched many tours with Billy conducting them, it’s been a true honour listening to your tours and may you have a wonderful retirement. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This guy is a really good tour guide
What an absolute legend! 👍
Bill Callaghan, Former Royal Army Medical Corps soldier and a bloody good bloke.
Love to listen to Bill, wish my history teacher was like him!
That wonderful comment about William 1st building the White Tower "stupidly under the flight path of 2 airports" - reminded me of an equally splendid instance I witnessed in 1973 in Berkhamsted Castle.
A small party of American visitors were being given a conducted tour and as I walked past I overheard a large American lady with a blue rinse perm hairstyle (popular in the '70's with the more mature in years lady) say - "I can't understand why they built the castle so close to the railway".... yeah well - concept of history - not.
After the Battle of Hastings, William marched on London, but found the bridges held against him. Unable to cross, he turned left and marched along the south bank of the River Thames until he came to the first place at which the Thames can be forded with an army - and that's at Wallingford. That brought him and his army around the Chiltern Hills and down toward London from the Northwest.
Knowing by that time that the English army from Mercia had not been present at the battle, he took the precaution of stopping where the valley narrowed at Berkhamsted between the steep hills of the Chilterns and the marshy ground and built a castle there to guard his rear. The great English magnates came to Berkhamsted and submitted to William there.
A great laugh - the man is a legend. BUT, he also tells it true! School IS important - but it isn't the be all and end all! Once you have that basic grounding, what you do later in life is what REALLY matters!
Those who have suffered this Gentleman are indeed BLESSED! Lovely work, William.
Best thing I've seen on UA-cam in months!
Thus proving “Until you seen the tower of London with Billy, you’ve never seen it at all”
Greetings from the United States (Louisville, Kentucky).
I watched this video, and Bill was a wonderfully entertaining presenter/guide. Judging by the date, he has been retired for just over 2 years, now. I hope he's enjoying his retirement.
I did that same tour in 1988, and the presenter was very similar. I remember a joke he told about if a King was named King John, then the initials on his shirt would be JR, which would appeal to fans of the 'Dallas' television show. That joke was funny at the time.
JR - John Rex ( Latin for King )
You won't get a history lesson like this in any school.
Every young person there must always remember this tour. To them the details of history are attainable. Good job.
Funny when he said,
"Who'd build a castle under 2 London Flight Paths?"
Greatly enjoyed his humour.
This is the epitome of the best Army NCO's I had the pleasure of serving with - right back to basic training, they had a "gift of the gab" that made them hilarious. Pretty sure many of them used Windsor Davis as a role model. Know the Tower and its Yeoman Warders well (my better half is a professional Blue Badge Tour Guide - they where just as awed by Bill).
Immensely interesting. After all that building I would have called William, William the Concreter.
Wow. Just watched this and realized I was at the Tower the day AFTER this was posted. We landed in London on June 27 and went to the Tower then next day
Brilliant, no other word.
Been wanting to see this great man since i seen his first video cant believe he retires in days and will never get on one of his tours hopefully you still do speaking events.
His great .. sense of humour love it 😂
@Aussie Pom maximum retirement age is 70.
@Aussie Pom it's not about the money.
@@crabfat1494 No it's not, idiot. I'm over 70 and still working. Why spout garbage that can easily be disproved?
@@godimsofuckingbored Work at the Tower do you., because it is there.....in fact it's 65.....idiot.
Brilliant. I've seen so many of his videos by people like yourself and enjoy so much his potted history lessons. So amusing. Love from Tottenham London Engkand. And thank you for posting.
Brilliant.....11/10.
I can never get enough of these Brits xD
What an incredible tour guide - interesting & informative!
Oh no just read he's retired damit, I was going to look out for him to go on his tour. He's fun to watch!
Brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this.
Thank you for posting this, it was great fun to watch! 😀
Thank you for recording this fella. He puts on a great tour.
This is the best most informative thing ive seen on youtube.
7-52: So polite. In earlier times I reckon something like 'That man THERE!' would have been his exclamation! LOL
Wow blows me away, what a great character....
"Anyone not been offended yet, let me know and I'll fit you in"
FB gets offended every second with their stupid Rules & Regulations, whatever you do, don't mention the word ass, you'll be sorry
@jamie waters me
Would make a good after dinner speaker. Just found out that is what he did (Billy Beafeater) in the search.
what a fascinating guy, great tour guide
I wish this guy was minister of education, or PM, or at least in charge of something very important in government.
What a great message !
Truly a top bloke!!
Brilliant work.
What an absolute Star! 😊
I visited the Tower with a group of cousins. It was one of the hottest days recorded in London. Bill, on duty was dressed in his full regalia, heavy woollen uniform, felt hat, breaches and buckled shoes. My cousin, wearing the thinnest shirt, shorts and flip flops said to Bill “I bet you’re hot in all that uniform “. Bill, didn’t reply, instead called on all visitors, “you are all allowed ONE Stupid Question” ….looking at my hapless cousin he proclaimed “This man has just used his”…….”does anyone else have a stupid question?” …what a great, quick witted force of nature Bill is. 😂👍
Absolutely brilliant, better than the stand up comedians .👍👍
Simply brilliant!
What a fantastic guide.
Glad you think so!
Great vid 👍🏽
Chandy Castle thank you 😊
Please share it.
He's the best tour guid ever.. seen him many a time ....Hu shure mies history with a humour that many don't have, but should.
Not only did he do Donald Trump but he also did Al Murray a British comedian! What a great guide!
That was a very well spent half hour. I thought I knew a few facts about the history eras Bill mentioned, but obviously not!
without doubt the best storyteller ever.also a great man.wish him all the best for the future.
Vraiment excellent ! ! !
This guy is excellent.
Found it...
He's a great Yeoman, very comical.
What gets our economy on track , and closes borders ? Top man
A Brilliant Gentleman
Brilliant! Good man
Could you imagine a history show with him and Al Murray
Brilliant!
Fantastic tour Bill, enjoy your retirement.
Well done, that man!
What a top bloke
"Keep the bishop away from the wine" however, in their defense, to quote padre Phillipe from the legend of Zorro: "I need at least one vice to keep in touch with sinners"
Brilliant
Anyone else thinking of Al Murray...?
During my father’s time at the Tower of London 1967-1993, it was frowned on to parody a living President or countries Leader.
Shame he has retired he would have been worth travelling down to for him.
What an entertaining tour guide, I thought he was going to say something offensive, which makes me a bit judgemental, but he was entertaining and informative , yay and thrice yay.
These guys are a legend. But do your research in advance in order to thoroughly appreciate the nearly 1,000 year history of this place and the multitude of Kings, Queens, & Famous persons & events that took place here.
Also, the Crown Jewels and other exhibits, can't be fully appreciated without reading up in advance so that you know what to look out for because there is limited time in the Crown Jewels.
What a fantastic guy
I could quite easily listen to him for hours. Has he really retired?
Underrated
Well said old chap!
This fellow MUST write a book before 'time' catches up with him!...
Looks like he was doing a bit of Al Murray as well.
Reminds me of al Murray. Brilliant
I think Al Murray got his repertoire from Bill!
BEE... KYET! THANYK YEU!
Sir Bill, please update the story of Katherine of Aragon, Queen of England.
Katherine died at 'Kimbolton Castle' Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire,
on 7 January 1536 and her tomb is situated in Peterborough Cathedral.
On the day of Katherine’s funeral, Henry’s new Queen Anne Boleyn miscarried a baby boy.
great guy.
British legend 💂
This man is a legend. 🤣
Sad loss to the Tower when he leaves.
Haven't seen him for some years. Still as funny and as engaging. Been stuffing the pies a bit though!
The Beer more likely - bless him! :-)
@@georgebuller1914 no the wine! 😂😂😂
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 NAH! The French Bishops drank that years ago! ;-)
Legend.
I love how he just casually weaves in a bit of "maybe get off your high horse" towards any americans in the crowd that may be from the "christianity good, islam bad" crowd.
Yeah, they might do something rash like self-imposed massive economic sanctions on themselves because the don't want anymore Muslims in their country
Good look bill
Thank God I still have the right to change the channel when someone exercises the right to free speech.
Legend
History teaches us that humans learn nothing!
Is he Al Murry's Dad.
Couldn't remember his name.. thank you!!
