Tower of London to have first female Yeoman Warder

Tower of London for the 1st time in 500 years will have a female "Beefeater". Moira Cameron, 42, beat five men to the prestigious position and became the first female ever appointed to the famous ceremonial guard.

The warders, who wear blue and red uniforms and are the subject of countless tourist photos, are known colloquially as Beefeaters because of the rations of meat they were given during medieval times.
