Beefeaters
London fortress sentinels
Beefeaters are the ceremonial guards at the Tower of London, officially called Yeomen Warders.
They wear distinctive Tudor-era uniforms—dark blue daily, scarlet and gold for state occasions—and serve as guides and caretakers of the historic fortress.
The name likely comes from their once-generous rations of beef.
All are retired senior military personnel with distinguished service records.
