Beefeaters

Beefeaters, officially known as Yeoman Warders, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London, dating back to the 15th century. They are responsible for guarding the Crown Jewels, escorting visitors, and maintaining security. Their distinctive attire includes a Tudor-style uniform with a Tudor Crown and a feathered hat. Traditionally, they served as military personnel who protected the royal palace and prisoners. Today, they are primarily ceremonial figures, providing historical insight and acting as ambassadors for the Tower and British heritage. Their role blends tradition, history, and tourism, symbolizing England’s rich royal past.
