Who Are The People At The Entrance Of Windsor Castle?

[Tefler]

When we see Windsor Castle on the news at the moment, we see a row of 4 or 5 people, wearing black capes with red trim at the entrance. Can anybody tell me what organisation these people are from?

The Spanish Inquisition?

No idea and Ihave often wondered as they are all women and very smart in their uniforms.

Are they,perhaps, the female version of the Yeomen of The Guard?

[emmie]

wouldn't they wear the same uniform though???

The wardens at Windsor Castle wear dark blue uniforms (which might appear black) with red trim:

davebro 13:28, no one would expect that!

fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, nice red uniforms.........

Well done dave! That made me laugh. I was at the filming of the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition sketch and they appeared from behind and ran through the audience.

Thank you all - both for the fun and the information!
