First Female Beefeater Going on Duty

Posted by Alex in Everything Else, Travel & Places on September 3, 2007 at 12:58 pm


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.

    I dont know the cost of living or the responsibilities of the job but $40k doesnt seem bad

    I thought First would be an off colour joke about "female beefeater"
