A 42-year-old Scottish woman became the first female "Beefeater" on Monday, taking up her post as a guardian of Britain's Tower of London.
Moira Cameron started duties as a Yeoman Warder after beating five men to secure the coveted position.
She wore the traditional dress of a scarlet and gold tunic, white ruff, red stockings and black patent leather shoes.
Her duties include guarding the crown jewels, participating in the Ceremony of the Keys and giving visitors guided tours.
