"We know that no one leaves a battlefield unchanged and that not all scars can be seen." Prince Harry started the Invictus Games in 2014 as a way to inspire and motivate wounded soldiers on their paths to recovery. And before the games were officially declared open, he took to the stage to explain their meaning. "In a world where so many have reasons to feel cynical and apathetic, I wanted to find a way for veterans to be a beacon of light, and show us all that we have a role to play. That we all win when we respect our friends, neighbours and communities. That's why we created Invictus," said Harry.
