Poppies - Tower of London


Yeoman Pryme - Tower of London a humorous fellow - he kept the crowds amused.


Yeoman Moira Cameron - Tower of London with visitors.

Moira Cameron is a Yeoman Warder of the Tower of London, England. She is the first woman to ever hold the position. In 2007, after a 22 year career in the British Army, Cameron became one of the 35 resident Warders in the Tower of London, commonly known as the Beefeaters.
Originally prison guards, the Yeoman Warder's position dates back to 1485. It is now a largely ceremonial role, with responsibility for conducting guided tours and generally looking after public visitors to the Tower, as well as conducting certain other duties both inside and outside the Tower.

It's an excellent selection of pictures, Barrie. Fabulous selection.

I can't even begin to tell you how exceptional they look on my small Kindle Fire HD screen too - even more striking than on the larger laptop screen.

I wish I could've gone and seen them for real but the images and videos are the next best thing, so thanks for those.

A nice set, Barrie. It rained when I went, but it was a moving experience.
