Why do guards at the Tower of London wear those uniforms?

The guards at the Tower of London, known as Yeoman Warders or Beefeaters, wear their distinctive uniforms as a symbol of tradition and history. The current uniform, which features a dark blue and red ensemble, is based on the Tudor-era attire and reflects the Tower's long-standing connection to the monarchy. The uniform not only serves as a representation of their role in guarding the Tower and its treasures but also enhances the tourist experience by embodying the rich heritage of the site.
