Originated in 1485 to guard the new king Henry VII, the yeomen's duties have change in modern times. Still devoted to the monarch, these colorful gents act as guides to the Tower of London, regaling us with its fascinating history and entertaining along the way.
All are veterans of the military services, and experts on their subject matter.
For the history of the Yeoman Warders, Yeoman Archers--other versions of their title--visit their website.
