The first Invictus Games comes to London’s Olympic Park in just over a week. During the four day long event over 400 competitors from 13 nations will take part in the multi-sport event designed for wounded soldiers. The countries taking part have all fought alongside the United Kingdom in recent military campaigns, including, the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, Denmark, New Zealand and Afghanistan.
The event has been championed by Prince Harry and aims to use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation, and generate a wider understanding and respect of those who serve their country. Prince Harry will be taking part in a wheelchair rugby match alongside Dame Kelly Holmes, Denise Lewis, Mike and Zara Tindall, with Rugby World Cup winners Jonny Wilkinson and Sir Clive Woodward managing the teams.
Tickets are available for £12.85 per session. For more information and tickets visit invictusgames.org
