A beefeater is a nickname for a Yeomen Warder.

Yeomen Warders (beefeaters) are guardians of the Tower of London in London, England.

In days of old, they were responsible for guarding prisoners kept in the tower as well as guarding the tower itself.

Nowadays they guard the Crown Jewels, guard the tower and conduct tour guides of the tower.
