The Queen met an Invictus Games medallist and a 100-year-old "Dambuster" on her first public engagement since returning from Balmoral. The monarch visited the Haig Housing development near Morden on Friday to officially open the charity's 70 new homes for veterans and their families. She also met Invictus Games silver medallist Dan Phillips, who called the day an "absolutely incredible experience". The Queen was even given a laugh when one child shouted "you're the best Queen in the world" as she greeted the crowds. The site in Morden first opened almost 100 years ago, following the end of the First World War.
