- Visiting the Tower of London on March 31, 2008 -- the Beefeaters give you a rollicking tour of the Tower, along with a history lesson you won't read about in your average issue of National Geographic.
Our guide today is Yeoman Warder Bill Callahan, who gives the history of the Tower from men "who were there ... or who knew somebody who possibly saw" many interesting, if not humorously disgusting, things.
I have the prviledge of having know this gentlman and in 1985 he was the best man at my wedding. by far the best man!! I am a better man for having known him.
Even back in the early 1980s you could see that Bill was destined for something like this. It came as no surprise to me to find out he had ended up at the tower.
I'd love to buy this fella a pie and a pint! :-)
Epitome of Britain, need guys like him in Westminster, sort the shite out
Great tour. I understand all the Beefeaters are retired high ranking NCOs of the British armed forces. That accounts for their brass and confidence. They make great instructors.
yes think this guy have been 20+ years in the military then he got invited to the palace to become a guide, i think
He is a fantastic story teller!! I love England's history...
l love being English, l love my country, l love our sense of humour, but most of all l love our rich history that can't be beaten!!!!!!!
Greek & Roman history could do it.
@@ps4geek970 not even close gre or rom that's just dull English history is the best history there is
Completely agree. Cheers from the States
@@paulmcdonough1093 Keep dreaming. When Greeks were building entire civilisations and inventing Democracy you were busy cutting down trees. And that is the truth.
@@armaholic5949 and now it's the liability of Europe. Even the Greeks say she eats her own children. There's a restaurant in my town called The Greedy Greek which the Greeks themselves find ironic. Our Royal family is still intact, we even took adopted the Prince of Greece. We had the biggest empire and abolished slavery throughout most of the world. Not only do we have many tourists but many people also want to live here. God save the Queen 😁
Bill Callaghan such an amazing guy
Genius I want to go and see this guy at the tower! History and comedy! 😀
This guy is awesome. Typical Army humour! I'd love to be on his tour shift. He delivered history in an alternative way, but in a way that one can completely engage in. He's great.
Haha! I just went yesterday and our guide was this guy! It was funny and hands down the best tour we had in London.
I'm English through and through and proud of it; looking back on history though I think that it’s fair to say that in the medieval ages, English civilisation left much to be desired.
I’m not knocking anyone, just willing to accept history. As I hope with the Americans (Texans especially), Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, Welsh and Scots, I certainly do not take offence in a bit of light hearted mockery and just see an ex-soldier who knows his history and makes learning it fun.
Sgt major humour at its best
John Wyatt not just sarn major humour, but an Irish sarn major!
Truly a senior NCO enjoying a captive audience! (Don't know who's enjoying who, but there you go). Every single word is taking the piss!
if I ever get lucky enough to go to England, I want this guide.
Oh and please guys... he is not a tour guide. his function is security of her majesty's palace, personal guards for her majesty and the security of the crown jewels.
This is true....they are also the Queen's bodyguard on State and Ceremonial Occasions. You must have served 22 years, reached a Senior NCO and been awarded the Long Service & Good Conduct Medal. They also have powers of arrest inside the Tower.
I saw this bloke the first time I went to London he is heaps of fun!!
Tower of London....what an absolutley fabulous place, The British are the best
when it comes to history.
Yes
Oh my god, it is. I've been there three times (one being a day trip from France). If you ever get the chance to go, take it. You will be so amazed.
I learnt British English at school and it took me a little while to get used to his accent. But in a few moments you understand what he 'means'.
Thanks for the upload!
Very interesting.
I've seen a few videos on UA-cam of Yeoman Warder, Bill Callaghan. He's seems genuinely amazing...funny,dry and doesn't suffer fools gladly. When I visit the tower I want to have him as a guide :)
I remember hearing (in school probably) that there was some correlation between every piece of gold or whatever the condemned handed over, to every stroke of the sharpener the executioner would use on his blade before the chop. Ergo the more generous the payment = the cleaner and quicker your death.
Yeah we arnt a bad place to visit the UK, I enjoyed this very much, thank you for sharing it.
Regards
Thank you ❤️💗❤️
I love living in England because of things like this
england looks like a really cool place to visit
I MET A BEEF-EATER WHO WAS FROM SEACOME. WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB THAY DO.
2:27 state of Texas, STATUS: WRECKED, that tour guide is savage.
thelasthallow: Yeoman Warders are not tour guides. They carry-out guided tours between their official duties.
@anillondon89
thank you,
i will look forward to visiting this beautiful country someday:)
i had this tour guide. very funny guy.
in fact, I believe the earl actually paid him more than normal and promised his servant would pay even more if Ketch didnt botch up like he had done previously. The other doucumented version of this is even more humorous as James Scott after the first strike of the ax stood up and gave ketch a dirty look!
ER stands for Elizabeth Regina. Latin for Elizabeth the Queen Regnant.
Someone who writes something in Latin gets a like, even 8 years later. Could you imagine 8 years ago what crazy times we would have in 2020/21? Hope you are well mate, all best.
I love the fact that English man thought as us and change everything
it's the same bloke probably but even if he does it ten times a day, he still does it with passion and vigor. You normally wouldn't take a tour with him and then do another tour with him straight after.
thank you
@anillondon89 As well as other tourist attractions as well, I'm sure you will acknowledge. Mosques are not the only thing in London for tourists to visit.
what is the significance of the "ER" on the beefeaters' uniforms?
Mike Hruby Elizabeth Regina
@waterclear26 yeah anyone is welcome to visit there...and i can tell u london is realy a nice places...
i feel like im there!
Salam Sultan Iwan subandi alam syah Salam Sultan✨ 🌙✨
@BigDaveNeg then why do they call them beefeaters?
This man (Bill Callaghan ) has a unique tallent. He can offend people without being offensive. That is unique. Great stuff Sgt. Major.Callaghan...........................
twa 1638 l think you mean he can be offensive without offending people.
do the beefeaters only eat beef?
@waterclear26 YEAHH I CAN TELL U I JUST VISIT ONCE I FALL IN LOVE WITH LONDON..I GOING BACK AGAIN SOON
I will someday:) thank you:)
what makes you so sure about that?
@waterclear26 Do, if you can put up with the inclement island weather we'd love to have you as long as you don't litter :)
@bent your lucky....can i come too?......lol

The Queens initials i believe :)
Elizabeth Regina = Queen Elizabeth
@ursie1986 Yes I can put up with any kind of weather:) I have been through it all. and im pretty good with throwing my trash in the garbage and not in the streets. how about you?
i may be wrong, but i believe you have to be a minimum of a Company Sergeant Major with at least 12 years of service.
Sergeant Major at the very least, whether Company, Regimental, Garrison, but not Battery, which is only (!) Warrant Officer Class 2. Minimum service is 22 years. Indeed, it is impossible to attain Warrant Officer in the RAF in 2 years. Cheers.
22 years service...plus an unblemished record.
Dafydd slight correction to what you wrote re Sergeant Major all Sergeant Majors are class two Warrant Officers including Battery Sergeant Majors, the only class 1 is the Regimental Sergeant Major commonly known as the RSM. Where there can be any number of Sergeant Majors in a Regiment / Battery I e. transport (MTWO)signals (SWO) etc. there's only one RSM and I used to be in the British Army for 25 yrs.
I wanna tell u a story
i thought they were going to show different parts of tower of london instead they only show him talking
I love these tours by the Yeoman Tours, the one thing that slightly offends me is the constant insults at the English, it is t time that this sort of thing ceased. If you don't like this sorry, but, it was not only the English that had savages.
loved that he used poo...
He is single and is on facebook & twitter: @BillyBeefeater
After watching this I feel like I was slightly let down by the British education system.
