Adding Google Calendar invites to Calendar app

I have received an event invitation from Google calendars via email (gmail account).

I can open the file attached "invite.ics" on my iPhone and it's displayed as a normal iphone calendar invite, but I can't find a way to accept it and add it to my iPhone calendar.

Can anyone explain to me how I can accept Google Calendar events and have them added to my iPhone calendar app please?

Finally found a solution to this months-old question, but could not reply there:

On iPhone go to >Settings>Mail>Accounts
Select the email account which received the Google Calendar invite.
Turn on "Mail"

Now in the Apple Calendar app you will see the event on your calendar in gray, to be Accepted, Declined, etc.
