In this new series, we go behind the walls of the nation’s most historic and best loved attraction. 2021 has been a momentous year for the Tower. They’ve performed a special Royal gun salute to commemorate the passing of Prince Philip, managed the loss of Merlina, the Tower’s oldest and most famous raven, witnessed the birth – inside the tower itself – of four new raven chicks, and the appointment of a brand new Yeoman Gaoler. And as well as celebrating over 1000 years of incredible British history on the home front, the close-knit Tower community come together to celebrate a Beefeater wedding in the chapel, and announce the arrival of two new Yeoman Warder recruits who are welcomed into the illustrious ranks.
