Best Answer

"Her Majesty's Bodyguard of the Honourable Corps of Gentleman at Arms" serve as bodyguards to the monarch of England who currently is Queen Elizabeth II. The group was created in 1509 and is made up of men who were formerly officers within the armed forces of Great Britain. While in the past the group did act as bodyguards they are now purely there for ceremonial purposes during different functions.

Even though they do not operate as bodyguards, they do serve in the House of Lords in the British Parliament.
