Yeoman Warder Lee Fox is the latest recruit to this historic role which dates back to 1485, and will join 34 other Yeoman Warders who live and work at the Tower of London. YW Lee Fox served over 23 years in the British Army, deployed on operational tours to Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan. Much of his time in the Army has been spent in Colchester at the heart of the Parachute Regiment, but his career has taken him all across the country, including Dover, Catterick and St Athan. Most recently, he served as part of the Parachute Training Support Unit at RAF Brize Norton, supporting parachuting across all three services including the Parachute Regiment and the wider Airborne forces. Lee grew up in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and outside of his duties he is a keen runner and has a love for playing darts.The role of Yeoman Warder, often known by the nickname ‘Beefeater’, originates from the band of warders who guarded the Tower of London and its prisoners from the reign of William the Conqueror in the 11th century. The Yeoman Warders as they exist today were created in 1485 by Henry VII as an extension of his personal protection, and to this day continue to hold a traditional ceremonial role as Extraordinary Members of The King’s Bodyguard. Today they help to bring the Tower’s history alive for millions of visitors each year, sharing stories, carrying out ceremonial duties and leading their famous Yeoman Warder tours. Applicants for the role of Yeoman Warder of His Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London must have served at least 22 years in the armed forces, hold the Long Service and Good Conduct medal, and have reached the rank of Warrant Officer or equivalent, before being selected for interview and a rigorous selection process. #mentalhealthawareness #parachuteregiment #britisharmy #veteran #viral #mentalhealth #shorts #podcast #youtube #instagram #facebook #facts
