Inns Of Court And City Yeomanry
The Inns of Court & City Yeomanry is the modern incarnation of one of London's oldest military institutions, with the earliest surviving accounts of a militia from the Inns dating back to the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. Today the organisation is arranged into four active but united parts:
- The Signal Squadron
- The Royal Yeomanry Band
- The Army Cadet Force Squadron
- The detached IC&CY Officership
The largest, the Signal Squadron, acts as a Close Support Squadron within 71st (City of London) Yeomanry Signal Regiment (Volunteers), itself a key part of the Royal Corps of Signals within the British Territorial Army (TA).

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or city:
““But such as you and I do not seem old
Like men who live by habit. Every day
I ride with falcon to the river’s edge
Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
Or court a woman; neither enemy,
Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“A suburb is an attempt to get out of reach of the city without having the city be out of reach.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
