Well, OK, it might not be the most significant post in the world in the overall scheme of things, but it is nice to know that the first female Beafeater (the formal guards at the Tower of London) has been appointed. (Or to give her the full title, she is to be made a Yeoman Warder of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign’s Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary.)
Among her duties she will, of course, be looking after the ravens… (and yes, The Times has repeated the old Charles II line.)
