{{Main article|Grenadier Guards}}
The [[Grenadier Guards]] are the most senior of the five prestigious regiments of Foot Guards, each of which retains the [[bearskin]] headdress originally associated with grenadiers.

Although the [[Coldstream Guards]] can trace their origins to an earlier date (1650) than that of the Grenadier Guards (1656), they are officially recognized as second in seniority since having been formed initially to serve the [[Commonwealth of England|Commonwealth]], their service to the Crown only dates from the [[Stuart Restoration|Restoration]] of the Monarchy in 1660.<ref>Major R.M.
