let me bring in matt bradley. her people i met this morning, a man walking with a cane, a military officer, a american, there were families with kids in strollers. not a single person talked to complained about the wait. among those i did not see, however, was one of the most famous athletes in the world david beckham. it's really quite remarkable all the people who are lining up. >> reporter: it's really just incredible. the line is right here below me. and somebody just yelled at me because they can see now where they are headed. it's within view. somebody yelled and said we're almost there. i got to tell them, no, they have four or five more hours before waiting time before they get into the palace behind me. you were mentioning david beckham. it seems like by far the most high profile person to wait in line for 12 hours. if you can imagine that famous footballer, how many times people must have asked for a selfie during that time. it was only a little while ago that david beckham was almost as famous as the que

joining me now from london is nbc's foreign correspondent matt bradley. matt, talk to us about the historic aspect of the day. we have a look into a centuries-old tradition for the first time. phil >> yeah, alicia, it's interesting because it's kind of an echo of the queen's own adventure on television, back when she was coordinated, way back when she was just in her twenties. back in the 1950s. her coronation, that huge display, was the first time anyone had seen that on television. the queen herself is on record having had argued against it saying, we don't want to televise this to a huge international of audience. and millions tuned in. so this accession council, this was the first time that this was seen in public except by of course members of the privy council and other senior members of government, senior politicians, thinkers who were part of this. they are allowing it to be seen. one of the interesting things about the british monarchy is how it's changed almost imperceptibly. over the 70 years that the queen has rained. to us, it still seems like

with me now, nbc news foreign correspondent matt bradley. i've got to say, it's pretty astonishing to see the split screen. but the solemn procession for the queen, as yukito or, at the same time proclaiming her son the new king. talk to us about the feeling there. >> yeah, alicia, you're going to see that over the next ten days. because as pomp and circumstance is not, over not by fire. it's going to categorize this is sort, of if you will, juuling pageantry. one, the former queen, the deceased queen who is traversing the ad highlight of the country from all the way up at balmoral scotland. so it even more north than that today, driving through inverness, the capital violence in scotland. next week, she's going to be heading down here to london. then we are also seeing the king, the new king, formerly the prince. he's also going to be making the rounds he's introducing himself not only to his subjects new subjects here in england, where i am, here in london. but also in the other three constituent countries of the united kingdom. that is wal

nbc's matt bradley is standing by. matt, what can you tell us? >> good, evening we are just the past few hours that the sketches of this funeral kind of coming into a little bit of a clearer perspective. we understand now that it's been confirmed that the funeral for the queen will not be this monday but the following monday. you have all more than a week of calm and circumstances. it'll be stretching from the very north of the country from scotland in balmoral. where the queen died, all the way down to where i am here, in london and it will include, including with king charles assured, all of the four constituent countries of the united kingdom. while we, see we watch britons more in the queen and this again, all of this pageantry as been all by the british governance in plan for years. it has been called operation london bridge. in parallel, there's operation spring tide. that is to welcome the nuking. he will be traveling, again all of those constituent countries. scotland, wales, england and northern island. to try to essentially, meet all of

nbc news correspondent matt bradley is live with us in london. what it was like to be in the uk today. >> reporter: yeah, well, i was here standing here right next to the mall right down this street from buckingham palace, and i was surrounded this entire time on one side by uniformed offices, by police, military, sailors, firemen. they were all here paying tribute not just to their can queen -- though they were doing that of course -- but also to their boss. everybody who works in most public service here in britain, they do pledge loyalty to the queen. it's not just that they're the queen's subjects, they're always the queen's servants. that was moving on one side. and on the other there were just members of the british public. part of the 1 million estimated people who came out here into central london, braved the traffic and the crowds and the inconvenience to come out here and wait for hours. once again, to see their queen just passing by just momentarily right behind me. and you know, this is something that the british public has been doing

nbc's matt bradley joins us live from outside buckingham palace. matt, it is very early where you are. but tell us what the last 24 hours have been like for people across great britain, 70 years as queen. >> the queen's death comes at a really difficult fracturus moment in britain. if you remember, it was just a couple of days ago that she really dispatched her last constitutional act, and that was anointing, or appointing, lustrous as the new prime minister. this is something that is a moment that is really difficult for britain's because they are facing down cost of living crisis, as we are seeing in the states. and this is ushering in a moment of national unity at a time, arguably, when this country needs it most. so over the past couple of hours, we've seen hundreds of people parading in front of buckingham palace. i'm actually now in front of the tames river in front of westminster, in front of the houses of parliament. but in front of buckingham palace, where some flowers from mourners, there were people singing the national anthem. paying tri

nbc's matt bradley joins me now for more, matt, i think this is going to be both a grand but also deeplyare people you are talking to today telling you? >> well solemn on some level we are seeing a lot of people coming out with hats, elderly gentlemen wearing medals, this is people paying tribute not just to their queen, but also to people involved in service. these are people who see their roles and service to the state, you see the queen, or did see the queen as their ultimate supervisor, as the -- especially in the military, the police, working for the nhs, the national health service. for a lot of people here, that's resonate so deeply. for the people i've been speaking to here, for the people speaking to these past ten days, they have expressed this team to come out and stand vigil. for many, it is really that they have not seen a monarch in a long time. that is the one thing we keep hearing time and time again from people coming out here and trying to pay tribute, not just people out here today, people who waited in line for as long as 12 hours they are waiting in line overnight, i

nbc news foreign correspondent matt bradley joins us live from london. matt, always so nice to see you. have we seen any signals that this rift before the royals could possibly heal in the wake of the winds passing? >> look, katie royal watchers and people interested in this kind of thing we'll be dissecting every little thing they see between these two couples. this is just how it goes. the tabloids will be picking over this for weeks and weeks. this is the kind of into the defense of the royal family love to see. you ask if we have seen any indication, no. there has been no indication of a healing of the rift. the fact is that this is a rift between the two brothers, william and harry and also between kate middleton, our now catherine and meghan markle. it's actually mutual on both sides, with both partners, kind of having problems with the other. so for those who want to see these get together, and there has been a lot of commentator in this country saying, this would be a great gift to a final parting gift, a posthumous gift, to the queen after her de

nbc's matt bradley is also here with us in london. , catherine is stepping into some very large shoes. a lot of memories go with that title. she talks about wanting to create it for herself, make it her own. what do we know? >> reporter: well, we know that kate middleton is going to be assuming a role that was the role that was held by princess diana. and it was such an important moment and one that we've been seeing kind of traces of princess diana's presence, an eminence behind this -- everything that we've been seeing in the past calm of days. and so, of course, she's going to come out and she has said, kate middleton, that she's going to create her own role. that she's going to be an independent figure in this position that was occupied by someone who was so loved and is brought up today as princess diana as somebody who was loved and is still remembered as kind of one of the sort of mistakes that the queen had made. when we talk about the queen's legacy, there's so much that's mentioned about diana and about how the queen had mayb

joining me now is matt bradley. parallels this. >> neither can i. nothing comes to mind immediately. what we heard from the police this morning i spoke with somebody organizing this he said this is a massive operation and what you're seeing in terms of uniformed police officers is just the tip of the iceberg. the rest of it involves a lot of plain clothe officers and of course intelligence officials trying to figure out if there's any plans to try to disrupt this massive event featuring, of course, heads of state from all over the world. it's a potential security nightmare. and when we're talking about this funeral, there are so many moving parts. i know you've been following this, you've here watching the logistics in action has been breathtaking. what we're seeing on monday are more funeral corteges so more of the coffin moving through the streets of london. that alone takes up tons of time and effort, and just outside of the policing, outside of the security, the logistics that get involved with shutting down the
