Two ceremonial guards known as Beefeaters at the historic Tower of London have been fired after an internal investigation found that they harassed a female colleague.

The Tower of London said Wednesday that its investigation concluded that there was evidence the two had bullied Moira Cameron - the popular tourist attraction's first female guard.

It says the case against a third guard was not proven and the charges were dropped.

Tower spokeswoman Ruth Howlett says Cameron's entry in the online encyclopedia known as Wikipedia had been defaced as part of the campaign against her.

Cameron remains on active duty.
