First Female Beefeater Going on Duty

Here’s a follow up to our post "After 500 Years, Tower of London Hired First Female Beefeater": she is now officially going on duty!

Moira Cameron, 42, from Argyll, beat five men to the £20,000-a-year job as Yeoman Warder.

She said it was a "great privilege" to work and live at the Tower as she donned the famous blue and scarlet uniform for her first duties on Monday. [...]

While posing for a barrage of cameras she admitted carrying a mirror and lip gloss in the "wonderful big pockets" of the blue uniform dress.
