When did Prince Harry set up the Invictus Games?
Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 - an international adaptive multi-sport event in which wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and veterans participate.
It celebrates the power of sport in recovery and how it can help, physically or psychologically, those suffering from injuries or illness.
The first event took place in London and since then has been held in Orlando in 2016, Toronto in 2017, Sydney in 2018, The Hague in 2022 and Dusseldorf in 2023.
