In a rousing send-off to all who competed at the third Invictus Games, Prince Harry addressed them directly in his closing speech, saying: "Right now you're on a high. At the summit of a mountain many of you thought was too high to climb. You have done it.
"This is the moment, right here, right now, shoulder to shoulder, you are Invictus."
