First Female Beefeater at the Tower of London

You probably wouldn’t expect to see a Beefeater guarding the Tower of London while wearing a fetching shade of coral lipstick. But as of this week, it won’t be such a rare sight anymore – Moira Cameron, from Argyll in Scotland, is the first woman ever to take up the prestigious post after serving in the Army for 22 years.

While we’re in no doubt whatsoever that Moira will be every bit as competent as her male colleagues, we had to laugh when we heard her confession that she does keep a little stash of lip gloss in her official tunic. As long as it doesn’t catch on with the rest of the Beefeaters, we reckon that’s fair enough.
