GrenadierGuardsDmr's video: Grenadier Guards - Tower of London - 2 July 2013

As it is officially one of The Queen's Royal Residences within the London District of the British Army, along with Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace and Windsor Castle, the Tower of London receives a detachment from one of the Regiments of Foot Guards of the Household Division (Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish or Welsh Guards). The regiment is whichever is simultaneously mounting guard at Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace on that day. There are two sentry posts, one at the Jewel House guarding the Crown Jewels, and one at The Queen's House which contains apartments for some of the residents of The Tower. Sentries are inspected and relieved every two hours. This is in addition to the Yeoman Warders, commonly known as "Beefeaters", who are retired British Army Senior Non Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers (Sergeant to Regimental Sergeant Major ranks). Whilst officially responsible for protecting the Crown Jewels with the Foot Guards, Yeoman Warders also conduct guided tours of the Tower, some tours being truly enormous in size, requiring a Warrant Officer's throw of voice!
