Present Day
Today, the Inns of Court & City Yeomanry maintains two distinct sub-units in the TA: 68 (ICCEY) Signal Squadron remains in 71st (City of London) Yeomanry Signal Regiment, which was part of 2 (National Communications) Signal Brigade until the disbandment of the latter in November 2012; while the IC&CY Band, which was formed along with the regiment in 1961, has become the band of the Royal Yeomanry - although the Band still retains its distinctive City of London Yeomanry uniform.
The Signal Squadron operates out of three locations: its HQ is in a Georgian townhouse in Lincoln's Inn, Holborn; more austere post-war premises in Whipps Cross, Leytonstone some 17 kilometers away in East London; and at the TA Centre housing 907 (Essex Yeomanry) Signal Troop at Chelmsford, Essex.
Although their primary role remains UK Operations-focused, providing radio operators and equipment to assist in communications roles, squadron members have raised significant sums for charitable causes in recent years. Individual members of the Signal Squadron have also deployed overseas to support UK military operations: members of 'The Inns' were among the first mobilisation phase of the TA since the Korean War when sent to the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. More recent individual deployments have included Op Telic in Iraq, Op Tosca in Cyprus, and Op Herrick in Afghanistan. The Squadron also played a key role in supporting the 2012 London Olympics.
Today, both Band and Mounted Detachment of the Sabre Squadron are publicly most visible in providing an escort to the Lord Mayor of the City of London on the first Saturday of November as part of the Lord Mayor's Show - a tradition that five officers and eight other ranks have maintained almost every year since the Boer War. The Band also performs a large number of charitable performances both nationally and at its Clifton Street HQ.
The Inns of Court is also affiliated with an Army Cadet Force unit - 35 Signal Squadron - from the City of London and North East Sector ACF. They parade at the Whipp's Cross site, and share the same name and cap badge as the squadron.
The wider body of IC&CY officers seconded elsewhere within the British Army form the fourth pillar of the current day structure of 'the Inns', and are probably most recognisable by their distinctive Devil's Own cap badge. This includes a sizeable number serving in the Army Media Operations Group (Volunteers), as well as further afield.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man’s hand.”
—Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882–1944)
“Once it was, the repose of night,
Was a place, strong place, in which to sleep.
It is shaken now. It will burst into flames,
Either now or tomorrow or the day after that.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
