The site dates back to the <br />11 th century and is guarded by the Yeoman warders, or 'Beefeaters’. <br />King Henry VIII first introduced Beefeaters in 1485 1)... he used them as bodyguards. Their duties included <br />looking after the prisoners in the Tower and guarding the Crown Jewels. These days though, their main <br />role is to act as guides for the many tourists 2) ... visit the Tower every year. They also <br /> take care of the eight big black ravens 3) ... live in the tower. <br />There are 36 Yeoman Warders at the Tower and they are all men 4) ... were in the armed forces <br />for 22 years or more. <br />They live in the Tower with their families. <br />The Beefeaters are most famous for their striking red and gold uniform, hut they actually only <br />wear this on formal occasions. Most of the lime they wear a dark blue uniform with red trimmings. <br />No one is exactly sure 5) ... the name ‘Beefeater’ comes from. <br />One theory says that the warders used to be paid with meat instead of money! Others say that <br />the name comes from the French word buffctier. Buffetiers were guards in the palace of French Kings. <br /> They protected the King's food. </p>
