WELCOME

Beefeater stories


Conversation with a Beefeater – Everywhere I go I like to stop and find out about the stories of people. At the Tower of London, I stopped to visit one of the Beefeaters who act and guides and guards at the tower. All of them are military or retired military and most live with their families in the Tower. This particular one was sharing his story and how special it is to do his job. There is great pride in being a symbol of a nation.
