Yeoman Warder

LONDON (AP) – The first woman to join the ranks of the Beefeaters in more than 500 years has mastered the Ceremony of the Keys, the nightly locking-up ritual of the Tower of London guards.
But she says she is still learning the bloody history of the site that holds the Crown Jewels to prepare for guiding more than two million visitors every year.
Dressed in a knee-length dark blue coat with red trim and matching top hat, Moira Cameron on Monday became the first female Beefeater, or Yeoman Warder, since the corps of Tower guards was founded in 1485.

Why doesn’t England have an official national costume?

we will all be wearing burkahs if gordon keeps holding the bloody door open and letting the fanatics in……………… :evil: :evil:

It’s nothing more than PC gone more extreme, dont you think there’s a good reason no woman has done this for 500 years!
Next you will have Asians and Polish wanting some of this glorified tour guide job.
You have to have served minimum 22yrs to be eligible for this job, so the average candidate will be around 40yrs of age, you cannot join the army at 40, but you can protect the queen, something slightly not right there. It’s bad enough the head of state is a woman, let alone being guarded by them, this country is going down the pan more by the day.

Bring back public hangings and flogging!

Nothing wrong with having a woman as a head of state – it’s the hereditary monarchy that is wrong. We are a grown-up country and should be able to choose our head of state and boot them out when we don’t want them or when they’ve served long enough.

OK, let’s not rock the boat while Elizabeth is queen, but when the inevitable happens and a new coronation is due, I hope there will be an upsurge in Britsh republicanism that sees off the monarchy, whose very existence demeans the people of the country. It wouldn’t be so bad if we had a so-called ‘bicycle monarchy’ like some European countries, where the monarch lives quietly with minimal involvement in pomp and ceremony.

BUT…..If there is the overwhelming support for the monarchy as claimed, and it is not abolished, then why not privatise it so all the hoardes of sycophantic monarchists can contribute their hard-earned pay to this super-rich family while the rest of us can spend ours at Ikea, happy in the knowledge that the royal family no longer enjoys any constitionally superior status above its former subjects.

Republic of Britain – swan on the menu for all!!!
