The King Comes!

As the Jerusalem people were not all that enthralled with Jesus, particularly the establishment, it would seem that the branch waving, disrobing crowd, were in fact festival visitors from Galilee who knew Jesus.

Luke 19:37-40 (Msg)
Right at the crest, where Mount Olives begins its descent, the whole crowd of disciples burst into enthusiastic praise over all the mighty works they had witnessed:

Blessed is he who comes,
the king in God's name!
All's well in heaven!
Glory in the high places!

Some Pharisees from the crowd told him, "Teacher, get your disciples under control!"
But he said, "If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise."
