Britain's Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's 90-year-old husband, was taken to hospital with a bladder infection on Monday, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

The palace said he had been taken to hospital as "a precautionary measure" and would remain under observation for a few days, meaning that he will miss the latter part of the queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

A concert is due to be held this evening at the palace, the third of four days of festivities marking the queen's 60-year reign.
