Royal Maundy Service guards (6)

I believe the answer is:

yeomen

(Other definitions for yeomen that I've seen before include "Naval petty-officers in charge of signals" , "- - of the Guard (G&S)" , "Monarch's ceremonial bodyguards" , "Country fellows" , "Small farmers (historical)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
