Yeoman Warder Amanda Clark poses for a portrait at the Tower of London, Thursday, March 4, 2021. England's top paid attraction, which normally draws more than 3 million visitors a year, has been closed for all but a dozen weeks since the pandemic began and international tourism to London came to an almost-complete standstill. The quiet has been surreal for Clark, one of the Tower's famous resident guards known as Yeoman Warders, or Beefeaters, who lives for interacting with people: directing tourists, telling them stories, posing for their selfies.
