King Henry VIII first introduced Beefeaters in 1485 1)... he used them as bodyguards. Their duties included looking after the prisoners in the Tower and guarding the Crown Jewels. These days though, their main role is to act as guides for the many tourists 2) ... visit the Tower every year. They also take care of the eight big black ravens 3) ... live in the tower. There are 36 Yeoman Warders at the Tower and they are all men 4) ... were in the armed forces for 22 years or more. They live in the Tower with their families. The Beefeaters are most famous for their striking red and gold uniform, hut they actually only wear this on formal occasions. Most of the lime they wear a dark blue uniform with red trimmings. No one is exactly sure 5) ... the name ‘Beefeater’ comes from. One theory says that the warders used to be paid with meat instead of money!
