Brilliant. I say give the man another medal.

No doubt it's only a matter of time before some PC tosspot 'complains' about something like 'lack of respect'.

I want to go on that tour. Outstanding!

Good point, Capetonian, I truly hope no one is feeble minded enough to say anything against him. The tourists looked like they were lovinng it. Apart from the Scottish, English, French and Italian ones, obviously. But, if you can't take a joke...

"History is nearly always written by the winner...which explains all the empty pages in French history books"

Diamond!

Had a good chat with a Yeoman once, who'd been in the SAS, Royal Tank Regiment and Parachute Regiment, in WWII ("I transferred to the Tankers 'cos I got fed up with walking across the desert, then the RAF kindly offered to fly me everywhere. Champion!"). Fantastic guys.

Don't wish to be a party pooper as this is truly a great piece of live 'entertainment' but it took place nearly 3 years ago.

"Bill" is still at the Tower so nobody got upset about him. It's part of his daily routine. If you have a bit of spare time watch the whole tour in four parts

That chap is the best, and everything an old soldier should be. Thanks for posting this, I though all the real "troopers" had gone. Danny42C excepted of course.

The Jollies doing the Victory tours are no shrinking violets either:

French tourist looking at the brass monkeys and cannon balls:

"Are zeez the cannon balls that we used at Trafalgar?"

Jolly, quick as a flash, "No the French navy kept all those."

...and because of him other Beefeaters are loosening their stays too. I did a guided tour last year and thoroughly enjoyed the banter which included the shapes of heads not matching the shapes of hats.

. . . . .. . he's a hoot alright . . . and Irish . . .tho' there's no trace of that in the accent.

once you've got your monologue off pat, it's money for old rope.

I watched all four parts on You tube.

It was interesting to see some members or the group, at the start, looking bored and as time went by they became fascinated by Bill's talk, enjoying his sense of humour and having a visit that they will remember for a long time.

Well done Bill :)
