Trafalgar Square is owned by the Queen in Right of the Crown, and managed by the
Greater London Authority, while Westminster City Council owns the roads around the square, including the pedestrianised area of the North Terrace.

Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder. All warders are retired from the
Armed Forces of
Commonwealth realms and must be former senior
non-commissioned officers with at least 22 years of service. They must also hold the
Long Service and Good Conduct
medal. Traditionally only NCOs from the Army, Royal Marines and Royal
Air Force were eligible to apply. This was because members of the Royal
Navy, instead of taking oaths to the Crown, take an oath to the
Admiralty, whose Head is the
Lord High Admiral, this reverted to the
Queen Elizabeth II from 1964-2011 when she transferred this appointment to
her husband Prince Philip. This discrepancy was brought to an end with the swearing in of the first Naval Yeoman Warder in 2011.
Vodka (Polish: wódka, Russian: водка) is a distilled beverage. It is composed primarily of water and ethanol with traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made by distillation of fermented substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits.
Traditionally prepared vodkas had an alcoholic content of 38% by volume. Today, the standard Polish, Russian and Lithuanian vodkas are 40% abv (80 proof), although many non-export Russian brands are sold at 38%. The European Union has established a minimum of 37.5% alcohol by volume content for any European vodka to be named as such.[1][2] Products sold as vodka in the United States must have an alcoholic content of 40% or more.[3] Homemade vodka, referred to as "samogon" in Russia and Ukraine, sometimes has an ABV as high as 62%.
The Don Cossack Host (Russian: Всевеликое Войско Донское, Vsevelikoye Voysko Donskoye) was a frontier military organization from the end of the 16th until the early 20th century.
The name
Cossack (казак, козак) was widely used to describe
"free people" as opposed to others with different standing in a feudal
society (i.e., peasants, nobles, clergy, etc..). The word 'cossack' was
also applied to migrants, free-booters and
bandits.
[2] Kazakh (казах) is another example of a derivative of this word used to describe nomads of the Central Asian steppes.
Following the defeat of the White Army in Russian Civil War, a policy of decossackization (Raskazachivaniye) took place on the surviving Cossacks and their homelands since they were viewed as a potential threat to the new Soviet regime.[6] The Cossack homelands were often very fertile, and during the collectivisation campaign many Cossacks shared the fate of the kulaks.
According to historian Michael Kort, "During 1919 and 1920, out of a
population of approximately 1.5 million Don Cossacks, the Bolshevik regime killed or deported an estimated 300,000 to 500,000".[7] The region also suffered greatly during the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 as a result of the Soviet policies.
During World War II, the Don Cossacks mustered the largest single concentration of Cossacks within the German Army, the XVth SS Cossack Cavalry Corps.
A great part of the Cossacks were former Russian citizens who elected
to fight not so much for Germany as against the Soviet Union. The XVth
SS Cossack Cavalry Corps included the 1st Cossack Division and the 2nd Cossack Division.

The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the
Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman
of the Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners at the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels,
but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in
their own right, a point the Yeoman Warders acknowledge.
The Yeomen Warders are often incorrectly referred to as Yeomen of the Guard, which is actually a distinct corps of Royal Bodyguards. Gilbert and Sullivan perpetuated this confusion by naming their opera The Yeomen of the Guard when it actually concerns Yeomen Warders.
