Серия «LEARNING THE WORLD” THE INTERVIEW WITH BEEFEATER TOM TRENT

Question: What qualifications do you have to become a beefeater?

Answer: You must be in the military for 22 years, have the rank of

sergeant major. You must have a spotless record, never have done

anything wrong or been caught doing anything wrong. (laughs)

Question: What tasks do you perform on a normal working day?

Answer: On a normal working day we normally start at about half past

eight in the morning, and we deal with the public all day until we

close at half past six. But we have a coffee break in the morning,

and have an hour for our lunch. This morning I started earlier, at

7 o’clock, and now I’m finished (at 1 pm). When I’ve done this

interview, I’ll be changing out of my uniform and going out. Some

people work late as well. They don’t start till the afternoon and they

work till 10 o’clock at night.

Question: How do you spend your free time?

Answer: How do I spend my free time? Well, I wander around London.

We have two grandchildren visiting to look after. We take them out.

We always get away from the Tower when we can.

Question: How many people live in the Tower of London and how

many of them are Beefeaters?

Answer: In the Tower of London, there are about 150 people living inside.

Thirty six are beefeaters. Then there are their wives and children

and there is a doctor and a priest. So we all live inside.

Question: Is the Queen always aware of new Beefeaters in the Tower

of London?

Answer: Is the Queen aware? Yes, she is aware, but I mean we are just

a small part in everything else, but we have parades and the Queen

inspects us.

Question: Have you ever met the Queen?

Answer: This year, I was at Buckingham Palace and met the Queen in

my uniform. So she knows we are here.
