Yeoman Warder
Yeoman Warders, popularly known as 'Beefeaters', are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. The Warder seen here is wearing his everyday undress uniform, they only wear their red and gold 'Tudor State Dress' when on duty at state occasions or when the sovereign visits the tower. The warders used to guard the crown jewels but now give guided tours around the tower and are in fact tourist attractions in their own right. All 37 yeoman warders + 1 chief warder and their families live in accommodation in the tower grounds.
