The Yeoman of the Guard, also known as Beefeaters, hold a significant place in British history and culture. Dating back to the 15th century, they have been an integral part of royal ceremonies and events. One captivating depiction of their role can be seen in "The Stone Kitchen" by George Cruikshank. This artwork showcases the Yeoman guarding the Tower of London, symbolizing their duty to protect important landmarks. In 1849, Queen Victoria and Prince Consort attended the Royal Italian Opera where they were greeted by members of the Yeoman of the Guard. The image captures their distinctive uniforms and highlights their presence at prestigious occasions. Princess Alexandra's attendance at King Edward VII's First Parliament opening in 1901 was marked by a grand procession that included the Yeoman parading alongside her carriage. Their participation emphasized their close association with royalty. Another historical moment is depicted in "Sir Thomas More's Farewell to His Daughter. " This poignant scene portrays a Yeoman bidding farewell to his loved ones before embarking on his duties, showcasing not only their commitment but also personal sacrifices made for service. The Graphic magazine cover from October 13th, 1888 features an illustration capturing various aspects related to the Yeomen - from ceremonial attire to musical instruments used during performances. It serves as a visual tribute to these esteemed individuals. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company further popularized this iconic group through colorful lithographs depicting scenes from Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta "Yeomen of the Guard. " These images brought attention to both historical accuracy and artistic interpretation. During Queen Victoria's coronation parade, Junior Exons mounted on horseback showcased elegance while representing this distinguished corps. They exemplified honor and tradition as they rode through cheering crowds lining London streets. Among them stood The Clerk of Cheque (Senior Exon), Ensigns, Lieutenants - all playing vital roles within this esteemed group.
