The Queen's nostalgic visit to her old home island of MaltaThe British monarch yesterday wrapped up a nostalgic visit to Malta, where she formerly lived while her husband, Prince Philip, was in the Royal Navy.

Last night, she was toasted by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting banquet on the island.

Mr Trudeau, 43, joked that he is not the youngest prime minister but the newest, before recounting the 89-year-old Queen's previous visits to Canada.
