The Invictus Games change lives and save lives. Created and spearheaded by Prince Harry, for whom this is a very personal cause, the games are for current and former servicemen and women who have been wounded, injured or sick.

Triple amputees, cancer survivors, multiple sclerosis patients, PTSD sufferers and many more all compete.
