Rob Fuller has been appointed Chief Yeoman Warder in a role which dates back to the 1500s, while Clive Towell, 56, becomes the Tower’s 51st Yeoman Gaoler.
Their appointments to the highest-ranking roles see them in charge of the Beefeaters at the historic attraction. Mr Fuller is the head of a group that is made up of 34 other Yeoman Warders, or “Beefeaters” as they are more commonly known.
Chief Yeoman Warder Rob Fuller, 65, said: “It’s an honour and a privilege to have been appointed to the role of Chief Yeoman Warder. Having been lucky enough to have been part of the Yeoman Body for 12 years now, I’m excited to take on this new role, and delighted to be handing over the axe to our new Yeoman Gaoler, Clive Towell.
