WHAT ARE THE INVICTUS GAMES?
* An international Paralympic-style, multi-sporting event for wounded and sick defence force veterans and actively serving men and women, founded by Prince Harry.
WHY DID PRINCE HARRY LAUNCH THE EVENT?
* His inspiration came in part from his decade-long service with the British Army, which included two tours of duty in Afghanistan.
* He set up the Invictus Games after visiting the US Warrior Games in Colorado in 2013, when he saw the positive impact sport was having on the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded servicemen and women.
