The Invictus Games for injured servicemen and women were brought to a close yesterday with a concert at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Teams travelled from the US, Afghanistan, New Zealand and across Europe to take part in the four-day event.

The competition itself,  featuring more than 400 participants, was inspired by the US ‘warrior games’, which was competed exclusively by the US army.

Prince Harry said at the opening on Thursday: "The Americans made it, I stole it, and we made it bigger."

The games hosted competitions in nine adaptive sports, including Athletics, powerlifting, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby and archery.

One of the highlights for Great Britain was the victory over the United States in the wheelchair basketball final on Saturday night.

The Prince himself starred in a celebrity wheelchair basketball game, which included Dame Kelly Holmes, herself an ex-soldier.

Prince Harry’s ‘Invictus’ team ran out 8-6 winners in a side managed by 2006 Rugby World Cup hero Jonny Wilkinson.

The closing ceremony yesterday featured a concert featuring Ellie Goulding, the Foo Fighters and Kaiser Chiefs, which was attended by 26,000 people.

Prince Harry read out a statement from the Queen who sent "heartfelt congratulations" to the organisers and competitors.

The Queen said: “As I have followed the competition over the past four days, I have been deeply moved by your courage, determination and talent.

"All of you have used the power of sport to enhance your own recovery and to raise wider awareness of the enormous challenges faced by wounded veterans."

The Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed the games could become an annual event.
