this procession seemed to be ahead of schedule so the queen could be in that 1902 state landau.t of the palace with their umbrellas and dogs and children just to catch a glimpse of this woman who in her 60 years they feel so indebted to, so much just gratitude. it was stunning. >> how long was that applause? we were watching that. i mean, it seemed like it never ended. >> reporter: which applause? i mean there were so many moments. once we saw her finally coming back in and entering the main gates it was massive hysteria, then we waited and certainly they had their tea and perhaps kicked their heels up, came back on the balcony and again, you know, the massive applause and the chanting, hip, hip, hooray with the infantry on their knees in the front of the palace. i'm speechless. >> you can't help but be a tourist and journalist. you got to take a couple of pictures. >> reporter: totally. i have no shame. i pulled out my iphone. i'm the only american surrounded by the brits and we all have our iphones in the middle of the live show taking pictures. how often do you get to say i w

where were you during that processional when the queen came in that open landau down the mile to buckinghamn the whole three days -- the only time in the whole three days that i saw her. >> really? >> yes, because i was on the river pageant. >> right. >> but that was -- that moment, i saw her go past. and it really meant a lot to me. >> the whole city seemed to be electric. but how can your resources not be stretched a little thin? you had the big royal wedding last year. you've got the diamond jubilee now. you've got the olympic games starting next month. are you worried at all that it's been too much in too short a time? >> on the contrary. and i'd say to, you know, viewers that london is going to cope, i hope, very well with the games in 50 days' time. i think the jubilee proved that we can do it. and obviously, i'm hoping very much to welcome people this summer to a summer like no other. >> bus operators, are they going to go on strike on you? >> bus operators are -- >> you're going to guarantee me. >> i'm going to guarantee to you and the american people, i think the people who work on

you've just mentioned, it looks favorable at the moment that we're going to see the queen in that open landau? >> yeah, everyone hoping it stays dry. but the last few days, if there's any reflection on where the weather's going, it could rain here as well. you never know in london. things change quickly. but, they're ready to weather anything that comes their way. matt? >> all right, stephanie gosk over in trafalgar square, not far from us here. stephanie, thank you very much. meredith? >> okay. as we mentioned the queen's husband of 64 years unable to attend today's jubilee events. prince philip, who turned 91 actually this saturday, is being treated at king edward vii hospital for what the palace describes as a bladder infection. nbc's duncan golestani is there. duncan, good morning to you. >> good morning, meredith. there has been no updates on prince philip's condition after spending the night here in hospital. he came yesterday from windsor castle to be treated for that bladder infection. buckingham palace did say it was just a precautionary measure. but he will be spending several days

. >> last year at the royal weddiwed ing when william and kate were in that landaue. >> nbc's stephaniephanie, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, meredith. well, the rain and cold are finally driving people away from trafalgar scare. they say the popularity of the institution of the monarchy is only as strong as those people behind it. i think what you've seen today is a real demonstration of the popularity of queen elizabeth and even beyond that, the popularity of the younger generation of royals. you've noticed throughout the morning every time we've seen prince william and katherine the crowds erupt. it's no different here in trafalgar square. every time we saw them, people cheer. >> i think the younger people think of her as the queen and sort of their grandmother as well. >>> let's go back to new york right now for a check of the other morning headlines. savannah guthrie's at the news desk while natalie is off. >>> security camera video shows this 29-year-old man entering the german internet cafe where he was arrested on monday. he is accused of killing and dismemberin
