Bill Callaghan (Beefeater)
William "Bill" Callaghan is a Yeoman Warder at HM Tower of London, who came into the media spotlight when YouTube footage of one of his tours, taken by American tourist Jerry Clark in December 2010, received more than 1.5 Million hits.〔(YouTube Video Clip (part 4) )〕
His sarcastic and dry style of delivery is very un-politically correct and jovially mocks everyone from the Royal Marines, French, Elderly and Hollywood actor Mel Gibson.〔()〕 The Daily Mirror reported ''Politically incorrect Beefeater gets 1.5 million hits on YouTube'',〔(Daily Mirror Article )〕 whilst the London Evening Standard headed their report with ''Tower warder's comic beefs captivate 1m on YouTube''.〔(London Evening Standard )〕 During the London 2012 Olympic Games, Callaghan tweeted that in one of his tours over that period he had lambasted his audience to "get a move on as there were athletes two miles down the road with no legs moving faster". The YouTube video, shows Callaghan asking elderly people on his tour to hurry up because they might not have long left to live. To roars of laughter, he says: "I don't care if you are limping. Catch up. Old people! It is an amazing fact that the elderly just do not realise how little time they may have left." Moving onto the subject of Traitors' Gate, he jokes, "Mel Gibson should have been brought through these gates and given a really hefty slap over the colossally inaccurate comedy film ''Braveheart''." Callaghan also tells a group of tourists, "History is nearly always written by the people who win. This explains all the empty pages in the French history books."
