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).

To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
