Friday 25th June 2010, 2:29PM BST.
Guernsey tennis star Heather Watson, centre, got to meet the Queen yesterday during Her Majesty’s first visit to Wimbledon since 1977. To Heather’s left is former junior Wimbledon champion Laura Robson, part of a line-up of the sport’s greats from the past and present.
Heather was in a line-up of around 15 players past and present that included Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King and current champions Serena Williams and Roger Federer who met the Queen in the members’ enclosure.
The 18-year-old’s mother, Michelle, was watching from afar.
‘Heather did a curtsy and the Queen said a few words. It was very emotional and very nice,’ she said.
