Prince Harry has introduced the British Invictus team with a heartfelt speech.
The 29-year-old royal took to the stage at Potters Field Park in Tower Bridge, London, to welcome and encourage the competitors who are set to play in the Paralympic-style sporting competition for wounded servicemen and women next month.
He said: "These men and women here have achieved so much already but by being selected for this team is another significant milestone in their life beyond injury.
"Everyone here behind me will be competing for themselves, but also for their mates. Also the many doctors, nurses, physios and friends who have played a part in the rehabilitation of these and many other remarkable men and women."
According to Hello! magazine, Prince Harry then wished the teams – who have just four weeks left to complete their training – the best of luck in the competition and asked them to "bring back as many medals as possible."
The team consists of both veterans and current members of the armed forces, who will compete in the games – held between 10 and 14 september at various venues around London – against 14 nations.
