The Yeomen of the Guard and warders of the Tower of London are colloquially referred to as Beefeaters.

The monarch's cipher, GR, at the base of the handle is an abbreviation of George Rex, for King George VI. After his death in 1953, the cipher was changed to ER (Elizabeth Regina), for Queen Elizabeth II.
