Thank you to Chief Yeoman Warder Rob Fuller for taking part! You can find out more about Yeoman Warders at the Tower of London at the below link. www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/history-and-stories/yeoman-warders-at-the-tower-of-london
Bob is a good friend of mine and an old shipmate from our time in the Royal Navy together. He has always been very cheeky with a good sense of humour. BZ Bob.
Brilliant. So refreshing to educate the world that The Yeoman Warders aren’t just a tourist attraction but the cream of the retired British forces. Historical protectors of our Monarch. Thank you guys (and girls!) ❤
The intriguing insights from "Beefeater Reveals Secrets Of Living At The Tower Of London & Working For The Royals | Honesty Box" offer a fascinating glimpse into the unique lifestyle and responsibilities of the Yeoman Warders, or Beefeaters, who serve at the historic Tower of London. Their role not only involves guarding the Tower but also includes living within its ancient walls and engaging with the public as part of the UK's rich heritage tourism sector.
So, basically, Yeoman Warders are the friendly guards, the ones tourists can speak with. ;) Good to know. That has been a very nice video. I never knew the Yeoman Warders and their families lived in the tower. That's amazing. It must be quite an experience for them, as well.
Ravens, crows, grackles and starlings -- but mostly ravens and crows -- are highly intelligent birds; they are creatures of habit and will remain in an area where they feel safe. And, just so they know, the ravens like the tower guards and recognize each one of them individually. Elsewise they would not stay there, clipped wings or not. I told you. They're intelligent. If you think they could not avoid you until their wings grew back (if they wished it), think again.
9:01 Sorry, but I just had to point out the AI art of the King's Guard. I mean come one, the knife is literally coming out of the barrel and that gun probably won't shoot neither
The bayonet for the L85 rifle has a hollow handle that fits around the barrel. It's a common misconception that L85/SA80 can't be fired with the bayonet fixed as as although it looks like it covers the muzzle orifice from face on, the blade is in fact offset - leaving a gap that means it is still possible to fire the rifle with the bayonet in place. Search for some images of it side on and it will become clear.
Gotta love it how a thing owned by the nation requires the nation to buy a ticket to view it, and the profits go to the monarch. Not dissimilar to tax-payer subventioned palaces and historical mansions across UK that the crown rents out and collects the profits.
That's a very odd view. Firstly. The tower is owned and run by a private company. The money earned from seeing the different properties and places means there is no tax payer burden. The cost to the taxpayer of the royals is minimal. The rest is covered by the charges. There is also the money earned around the whole country by tourism benefits us all as a country
I certainly would not trust the testimony from a man who was tortured as Sir James Tyrell was. It’s a dodgy thing to do to be honest since heinous medieval torture techniques would cause an innocent man to confess to the crime and a guilty man to admit to a crime so at best it’s a 50/50 chance of him being the murderer or master mind henchman for the crown.
@joshua_itssme you don't have to be hurt by someone to believe that anyone who claims right to rule by nothing more than who they were born to, are deluded at best. They could only get away with robbing the public of its agency in the past by putting dissidents to death, and ruling through fear - the very definitions of tyranny and terrorism. The monarchy go one step further - they claim that their birthright of rule comes down from on high, which in the eyes of those blinded by faith, removes any route of criticism or opposition. So I'll ask something of you now how sheltered can you be to think its such a cope to be vehemently opposed to the last vestiges of theocratic monarchy retaining their grip on the levers of power?
want a cheese burger? no refrigeration... 3 days and it all has to be consumed. 1800 pounds, 400 that's good, 200 that crosses the line and 1200 to the dogs broth removed. as ate to 8 not too late 40 more to get 3 a day cups of tea ask more to moo just to graze. in the kitchen the 400 stays and only the 2 that cross the line get served to the other 40 tho be once a day for that three days thy speaks the same as the other over the sea to put the pun over that potato meal.

He's FANTASTIC! (and of course, you did a bang up job of writing thought out questions -- good on ya!)
The link doesn't work
So THIS is the video that you guys were filing when our little entourage on the beefeater tour interrupted your recording the other day…

Haha, he's a proper comedian! So interesting and a really funny video!
This guy is funny as hell! More like this!
…but come 975 years, let’s see which one‘s still standing 😉
What a legend
I took a tour of the tower with Moira Cameron in 2019, but I had no idea she was the first female Beefeater! Thanks for the info Chief!
I met a Lady Yeoman Warder last year and she was fantastic! Loving visiting the Tower.
Shouldn’t they be call YeoWoman… I don’t know.😅
This is class. We need more history stuff on Lad Bible! Do a series on castles
British humour on show to perfection!
Very informative and quite funny! “I prefer chicken” 😂 love it
My family and I got a picture with this Beefeater 📸
This guy is absolutely a national treasure
What an amazing chap. This is why I would recommend the services to anyone. People like him. Sir, many thanks.
This was an amazing interview and video, hope to see more people like him on here. Was very refreshing!
Now I know what my next tattoo will be. 🥰
That was a knowledge drop. Nice one Brother.🤝

one knows why this gentleman is the chief beefeater and his knowledge shows
I love how he doesn't have to be too formal when wearing the uniform. This man can surely crack a smile on your face 😁

Very enjoyable. I love the stories and legends ❤
The ghost prank is hysterical 😅
What a wonderful man .
This is SOOOO good!
I absolutely love this guy! If I ever go back to England, I will go on a tour just to meet him.
Lovely and very informative. Thank you, Sir.
I’d love to buy this bloke a drink and just listen to his stories.
He seems like a natural host. He would be at home in any natural history museum
This guy for legend of the year award i say.
A kingsguard with no weapons?
"Our voice is our weapon"
No tf it's not😅
"You stop stabbin ma king yeah"😂😂😂
Be awesome to have a beer with this fella
I went to visit the tower to see one of the few remaining house sparrow colonies in London, and I did see them!
I've just been there the day before! Probably seen this sir
Brilliant video
This video was brilliant!
Just met my first beefeater ever in Fallout London. Didn't really know who or what they were until the amazing algorithm used it's magic.
they did a DNA test on the two skeletons, and it was inconclusive. The story is fascinating of the princes in the tower
Super cool!
YES.... There were several plots and stolen twice ...i think
Hence ....guard and yoman.
He's actually really funny 🙂
The ribbons extending over the red line make my eye twitch, they don't really go with the uniform
Missed a button on your uniform
Hilarious! From Canada

If I believe in DNA, Ancestry, King Henary was one of my GGG grandfathers, If I remember around 15 + - ,I guess I can check my tree.
Fck the monarchy with every bone in my body, but very interesting vid, what a cool guy
Who hurt you🥴
@joshua_itssme you don't have to be hurt by someone to believe that anyone who claims right to rule by nothing more than who they were born to, are deluded at best.

So I'll ask something of you now how sheltered can you be to think its such a cope to be vehemently opposed to the last vestiges of theocratic monarchy retaining their grip on the levers of power?
Go outside @@BennyAscent
If given the opportunity would he go to the pub to get a beer and a sandwich

If only the so called “king” is allowed to wear them, then you don’t own them

I think thats unfair having to serve full 20 odd years to do this , i think you should be able to do this if you have served 10 years and over
Service personnel who have served 20yrs + have given their life to the crown & continue to do this has a beefeater 🔵🔴🔵✊🏻💂🏻♂️✊🏻
Why 10 years?
I miss our queen
It is green right?
