Tower of London

BBC One Show – Last Execution at the Tower of London

In October 2016, the BBC filmed a short segment on Josef Jakobs at the Tower of London. It briefly tells the tale of Josef’s execution at the Tower. It also shows the first meeting between Kate, the daughter of William Chidlow and myself, the granddaughter of Josef Jakobs. Chidlow was one of the Military Policemen who guarded Josef during his final weeks and escorted him to his execution at the Tower of London.

The segment aired on the OneShow in January 2017 but wasn’t accessible to views outside the United Kingdom. A friend of mine found a clip pf the BBC segment on YouTube. I’m not sure if it will play in all geographic regions (copyright issues), but it does work in Canada! It’s just under 5 minutes long.
