>>> back overseas now to london where the royals were off to the races today. the queen and her family beginning four days of pageantry. a diamond jubilee marking her 60 years on the throne.
>> reporter: 21 guns at high noon for 60 years of queen elizabeth 's rain. for her, the opening was best spent at what she loves. the day at the races . but no ordinary one this. the crowd brimming over with national pride .
>> just bubbles up inside, doesn't it?
>> reporter: the flag brought in by parachute. she wore her favorite color and a smile. members of the royal family , decidedly understated. the winning horse, camelot.
>> she does look so happy.
>> reporter: all over england, you find the posh, the home grown, an astonishingly proper picnic in a parking lot and a chalk drawing on the street. around 50 degrees, the sun has not come out, but the queen did. a festive start to the jubilee weekend. where the queen can't be, she turns up in card board. yes, that weather continued to be a concern in a place where nothing has been left to chance cht not even the long line of boats, colors flying, that will build an impressive flotilla tomorrow. heavy rain threatening to soak a million citizens and a line that tends to a glowing tower bridge .
>> and if we get crown drowned out, well, this is england.
>> reporter: in the past few week, out visiting her subjects in pounding hail. of its quirks, freedoms, its very britishness. as much as of its queen. michelle kosinski , nbc news, london.
