Beefeater Imitates Trump during guided tour around the Tower of London 

I served with Bill in the Army and he was exactly the same then a great guy.

If I'd known that there was a tour guide as good as this, I'd have gone for a tour years ago. This man is brilliant at his job!

Legend! My wife and I rocked up at the Tower for a visit (her 60th birthday) and Bill arrived to conduct it. He entertained and insulted us for an hour. He was extremely informative as well as hilarious. We loved it! He will be a real miss. Thanks Bill, enjoy retirement.

We went on the TOL tour and had the pleasure of being guided by Bill, it was the funniest, most informative guided tour we've had. He was great with all ages and really involved everyone. Bill and all the TOL yeoman are such an asset.

A sad loss to the Yeoman Warders. I sincerely hope this lovely man enjoys a long and fruitful retirement. Excellent sense of humour, great delivery & very knowledgable

This guy is not just the best tour leader in the Tower of London, he is without the doubt the best tour leader anywhere, at any time.

He slipped into Al Murray on several occasions in this. Excellent work, that man!

Billy is great, but I just want to put in a word for other tour guides. LONDON HAS THE BEST TOUR GUIDES. I swear, they all have history degrees and have studied acting! Hop on any tour bus and you will learn so much, be entertained, and have a great laugh.

I can't believe how well this gentleman 'works' the crowd - and how much knowledge of history he has! :-)

He’s now working for the Coast Guard and often tweeting his thoughts and humour, so he hasn’t retired that much.

Shame that they dont have him any more , incredible memory , eloquent and entertaining , and most of all he takes the piss out everyone , including himself . Happy Retirement

My best mate growing up Tom, this is his old man. Absolute legend.

This guy is BRILLIANT - would have made a great teacher / lecturer, it would never be boring…….

I’ve watched many tours with Billy conducting them, it’s been a true honour listening to your tours and may you have a wonderful retirement. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

oh man I would have loved this man in history class

Those who have suffered this Gentleman are indeed BLESSED! Lovely work, William.

That wonderful comment about William 1st building the White Tower "stupidly under the flight path of 2 airports" - reminded me of an equally splendid instance I witnessed in 1973 in Berkhamsted Castle. A small party of American visitors were being given a conducted tour and as I walked past I overheard a large American lady with a blue rinse perm hairstyle (popular in the '70's with the more mature in years lady) say - "I can't understand why they built the castle so close to the railway".... yeah well - concept of history - not. After the Battle of Hastings, William marched on London, but found the bridges held against him. Unable to cross, he turned left and marched along the south bank of the River Thames until he came to the first place at which the Thames can be forded with an army - and that's at Wallingford. That brought him and his army around the Chiltern Hills and down toward London from the Northwest. Knowing by that time that the English army from Mercia had not been present at the battle, he took the precaution of stopping where the valley narrowed at Berkhamsted between the steep hills of the Chilterns and the marshy ground and built a castle there to guard his rear. The great English magnates came to Berkhamsted and submitted to William there.

Greetings from the United States (Louisville, Kentucky). I watched this video, and Bill was a wonderfully entertaining presenter/guide. Judging by the date, he has been retired for just over 2 years, now. I hope he's enjoying his retirement. I did that same tour in 1988, and the presenter was very similar. I remember a joke he told about if a King was named King John, then the initials on his shirt would be JR, which would appeal to fans of the 'Dallas' television show. That joke was funny at the time.

Best thing I've seen on RU-vid in months!

What an absolute legend! 👍

Bill Callaghan, Former Royal Army Medical Corps soldier and a bloody good bloke.

A great laugh - the man is a legend. BUT, he also tells it true! School IS important - but it isn't the be all and end all! Once you have that basic grounding, what you do later in life is what REALLY matters!

Love to listen to Bill, wish my history teacher was like him!

This guy is a really good tour guide

Amazing tour guide. I've watched a few of his videos, and was lucky enough to have his guidance when i visited the Tower myself with my family. Love this guy! He's amazing!

Been wanting to see this great man since i seen his first video cant believe he retires in days and will never get on one of his tours hopefully you still do speaking events.

Every young person there must always remember this tour. To them the details of history are attainable. Good job.

You won't get a history lesson like this in any school.

Wow. Just watched this and realized I was at the Tower the day AFTER this was posted. We landed in London on June 27 and went to the Tower then next day

This is the epitome of the best Army NCO's I had the pleasure of serving with - right back to basic training, they had a "gift of the gab" that made them hilarious. Pretty sure many of them used Windsor Davis as a role model. Know the Tower and its Yeoman Warders well (my better half is a professional Blue Badge Tour Guide - they where just as awed by Bill).

Funny when he said, "Who'd build a castle under 2 London Flight Paths?" Greatly enjoyed his humour.

Brilliant. I've seen so many of his videos by people like yourself and enjoy so much his potted history lessons. So amusing. Love from Tottenham London Engkand. And thank you for posting.

Oh no just read he's retired damit, I was going to look out for him to go on his tour. He's fun to watch!

Immensely interesting. After all that building I would have called William, William the Concreter.

Thus proving “Until you seen the tower of London with Billy, you’ve never seen it at all”

What an incredible tour guide - interesting & informative!

Would make a good after dinner speaker. Just found out that is what he did (Billy Beafeater) in the search.

Brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this.

This is the best most informative thing ive seen on youtube.

I can never get enough of these Brits xD

Brilliant, no other word.

Thank you for posting this, it was great fun to watch! 😀

Wow blows me away, what a great character....

Absolutely brilliant, better than the stand up comedians .👍👍

I wish this guy was minister of education, or PM, or at least in charge of something very important in government.

7-52: So polite. In earlier times I reckon something like 'That man THERE!' would have been his exclamation! LOL

I visited the Tower with a group of cousins. It was one of the hottest days recorded in London. Bill, on duty was dressed in his full regalia, heavy woollen uniform, felt hat, breaches and buckled shoes. My cousin, wearing the thinnest shirt, shorts and flip flops said to Bill “I bet you’re hot in all that uniform “. Bill, didn’t reply, instead called on all visitors, “you are all allowed ONE Stupid Question” ….looking at my hapless cousin he proclaimed “This man has just used his”…….”does anyone else have a stupid question?” …what a great, quick witted force of nature Bill is. 😂👍

He's the best tour guid ever.. seen him many a time ....Hu shure mies history with a humour that many don't have, but should.

Brilliant.....11/10.

Thank you for recording this fella. He puts on a great tour.

What gets our economy on track , and closes borders ? Top man

what a fascinating guy, great tour guide

That was a very well spent half hour. I thought I knew a few facts about the history eras Bill mentioned, but obviously not!

"Anyone not been offended yet, let me know and I'll fit you in"

What an absolute Star! 😊

Not only did he do Donald Trump but he also did Al Murray a British comedian! What a great guide!

What a fantastic guide.

These guys are a legend. But do your research in advance in order to thoroughly appreciate the nearly 1,000 year history of this place and the multitude of Kings, Queens, & Famous persons & events that took place here. Also, the Crown Jewels and other exhibits, can't be fully appreciated without reading up in advance so that you know what to look out for because there is limited time in the Crown Jewels.

Found it... He's a great Yeoman, very comical.

What a great message !

Truly a top bloke!!

Looks like he was doing a bit of Al Murray as well.

without doubt the best storyteller ever.also a great man.wish him all the best for the future.

What an entertaining tour guide, I thought he was going to say something offensive, which makes me a bit judgemental, but he was entertaining and informative , yay and thrice yay.

Shame he has retired he would have been worth travelling down to for him.

A Brilliant Gentleman

Anyone else thinking of Al Murray...?

This guy is excellent.

Great vid 👍🏽

Could you imagine a history show with him and Al Murray

During my father’s time at the Tower of London 1967-1993, it was frowned on to parody a living President or countries Leader.

best of what it is to be british love u billy

I could quite easily listen to him for hours. Has he really retired?

Brilliant work.

Simply brilliant!

What a top bloke

Well done, that man!

"Keep the bishop away from the wine" however, in their defense, to quote padre Phillipe from the legend of Zorro: "I need at least one vice to keep in touch with sinners"

Haven't seen him for some years. Still as funny and as engaging. Been stuffing the pies a bit though!

This fellow MUST write a book before 'time' catches up with him!...

I love how he just casually weaves in a bit of "maybe get off your high horse" towards any americans in the crowd that may be from the "christianity good, islam bad" crowd.

Brilliant

Fantastic tour Bill, enjoy your retirement.

What a fantastic guy

This man is a legend. 🤣

Seen this guy before, very very funny.

Well said old chap!

Vraiment excellent ! ! !

Sir Bill, please update the story of Katherine of Aragon, Queen of England. Katherine died at 'Kimbolton Castle' Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, on 7 January 1536 and her tomb is situated in Peterborough Cathedral. On the day of Katherine’s funeral, Henry’s new Queen Anne Boleyn miscarried a baby boy.

Brilliant!

British legend 💂

Thank God I still have the right to change the channel when someone exercises the right to free speech.

Underrated

Good look bill

senior NCO you cant get better

Brilliant! Good man

BEE... KYET! THANYK YEU!

History teaches us that humans learn nothing!

Sad loss to the Tower when he leaves.

Wow. Very impressed ! He actually spoke the truth. A British white guy talking about the Crusaders and Saladin etc with respect and truth. Not what you learn from text books.
