Beefeaters

The Beefeaters are minor characters in the film Minions. They are the security guards working around Tower of London.

Appearance
They are chubby men and are armed with lances for defending intruders, and they wear black hats and uniforms with yellow crown sign on it.

Minions
Kevin, Stuart, and Bob disguise themselves as a woman and break into the Tower of London, but they're found by three Beefeaters.

The guards order them to put their hands in the air, but Stuart goes toward them, activates Hypno-Hat and sings. Soon, the guards are mesmerized and start to dance with the rhythm, and they even take off their clothes, kick away their shoes, and shake their long hair. While the Beefeaters are thus occupied, the Minions continue moves to the tower to find the crown.

The guards are later seen in the knighting ceremony of Kevin, when Stuart plays his new guitar wildly while they again dances with the music, still long-haired and barebacked. They are also seen at the post-credit, Revolution, and they are mesmerized again by Stuart.

Trivia

 * The song Stuart sings and the hair shaking scene of Tower Guards originally appear in the 1967 musical Hair by Off-Broadway.
