Amazing.

Amazing.
Just amazing.
I recommend taking the Beefeater Tour. We had Spike who we had watched in the Channel 5 series about The Tower. We were chuffed and he didn't disappoint. Great humour and great knowledge. It's easy to forget that the Beefeaters are actually integral elements of the security of The Tower and are not tour guides. This was perfectly illustrated when Spike loudly admonished a visitor for sitting down on a tomb outside of the chapel. It is worth noting that the tomb also had a sign saying to show respect by not sitting on said tomb.
As a day out it is brilliant. I'm far from a royalist but was enchanted by the history of the castle which had been there in some form for over 1000 years.
