Barry joins Beefeaters at Tower of London

A FORMER Royal Marine who crossed the Antarctic has taken on a new challenge closer to home - at the Tower of London.

Barry Gray is making the move from his home in Yelverton to become one of the resident Beefeaters at the world-famous attraction.

Barry, a former Regimental Sergeant Major in the Royal Marines, is one of a very small number of people to have skied solo and unsupported across the Antarctic continent. He is now joining 34 other Yeoman Warders who live and work at the London landmark, alongside their families.

He served for 26 years in the Royal Marines, deployed on operational tours to Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. He also trained other Royal Marines in mountain and cold weather, eventually becoming the chief instructor of its specialist Mountain Leader Branch in 2007.

Older drivers tend to be the safest on the road

REGARDING recent newspaper reports about compulsory eye tests for the over-70s, as we have to renew our licences every three years anyway, I really cannot see that this will be a problem for most people of that age.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Although I am well aware that social media is largely an echo chamber that will feed back to you what you search for, there are no shortage of videos and articles about fashionable dressing for men, while vintage clothing is no longer merely bagged up and donated to charity shops but can yield high prices on re-sale sites such as eBay and Vinted.
