International Week-United Kingdom~ The Beefeater

Traveling to the United Kingdom we learnt about the Beefeater from Vienna’s mum.

She explained that a Beefeater is one of Queen Elizabeth’s guards who protects her crown jewels at the Tower of London. A Beefeater must do 22 years of military service before being considered for a position. The chief Beefeater must pass a secret password everyday to another Beefeater which has occurred for 300 years. The tradition of the Beefeater has been carried on for 700 years!

Here we are watching a short video of a little girl whose grandparents are Beefeaters. A very interesting and important occupation indeed!
