"I got a personal best. I got a medal and the best bit of all is these two little cheerleaders were right by us as well, shouting their heads off.

"I'm surprised they can still talk because I could hear them the whole time!"

Her daughter Daisy was proud of her mum and told Forces News: "She was awesome.

"[The gold medal] is quite heavy and it's really cool."

Renard explained that her Invictus journey started three years ago when her friend, who competed at the Sydney Games, recommended getting involved.

"We were both mums with kids at the same school doing the school run," she said.

"She said 'you've got to do it. You've got to apply for it' and thanks to my friend Jenny Collins.

"She is the reason why I'm here today."
