A woman beefeater

A BEEFEATER at the Tower of London will make history today when she becomes the first woman to take up the post.

Moira Cameron, from Argyll in Scotland, beat five men to secure the coveted position as a Yeoman Warder and become the first female in the role in the guards’ 522-year history.

She will don the traditional blue and scarlet livery for her duties today which begin with opening the Beauchamp Tower..
