Closing Concert Invictus Games

This programme contains scenes of repetitive flashing images.

Good evening. Welcome to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The place

that was the epicentre of London 2012. What a setting for four days

of extraordinary sporting action for people who will not take no for an

answer. Who will not list on the the words, "You can't." It has been "I

can." It is the Latin for unconquerored.

We've had Prince Harry getting sin-binned during wheelchair rugby.

It has been a fantastic few days. He has been on his bike trying to get

to as many venues as possible. This has been for 410 sick and injured

servicemen and women. They have completed across nine sports. They

have represented 13 nations. Every from Afghanistan to New Zealand. We

will show you the sporting side of things. It has not just been about

winning, it is important, of course. It has been about team spirit, about

motivation. It all culminates here tonight. I popped out to the lawns

behind me to find out who people were excited about seeing tonight.

Who are you most excited about? Darrell Goulding. We love James

Blunt. Bryan Adams has to be the best. The

Kaiser Chiefs. We will get our competitors' medals and then the Foo

Fighters. You are the warm-up guy!

We are here to see The Vamps. Darrell Goulding and the Foo

Fighters. I will call you the Foo Fighters' family. Is that your mum

and dad's choice? Would your dream night out be with Dave Grohl? That

would be mine! I am so relieved it is a lovely

evening and people started to arrive here from 4pm or earlier than that

and they were able to have picnics as they wait for the music to start.

We will show you the best acts. I am looking forward to Blunt. I know it

ages me somewhat. That is fine. I was tempted to stay with the Foo

Fighters family. They had a picnic sorted out. The person I think most

people are trying to catch a glimpse of and trying to get a selfie with

and say hello to and thank you is to the guy whose idea this was. He

picked it up from the warrior games. He transported it here and he is of

course Prince Harry. Let's chat with the man whose idea

this was. Your Royal Highness, are you happy with how it has gone? I am

happy. When you have something in your head it is dangerous. You know

how you want it to pan out. You never know whether it will. But, as

I said, numerous times over this past week, the British public have

taken to this like ducks to water. That is what we wanted. They have

outdone themselves, as always. Is it a relief it's gone so well and the

stress has gone? Is it stressful to put on an event of this scale? It

is. It has been stressful throughout the year, but fun. During the Games

stress levels were high. It is the last bit that people start to relax.

Everyone thinks it is all sorted. It is not. It is far from sorted until

every individual who has to get on a plane gets on a plane, uninjured,

with their family on the way back with a smile on their face. That is

mission success. Until that point we have to worry about a lot of people.

It is good. It is healthy. Really good for you. Let's look at

some of the sporting highlights from the last four days.

# I am the master of my fate # I am the captain of my

# I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul

shirt. Thankfully we are mates. There were some wonderful moments

there. Do you have a particular favourite moment from the whole

thing? If I am allowed the to, it will be Friday night - the final of

the wheelchair rugby. GB against America. 6,000 people - the roof

came off. It is when the penny sunk in. It was like, wow, that is the

British public doing what they do best. It was a tight match. People

were like, did you script it? One thing we could not organise is how

it would end. So a draw until the last 40 seconds, last minute,

whatever it was. Then we won it and got the triple crown - getting all

three golds against the Americans. It has been the absolute dream. It

has been absolutely fantastic. With content like this you will pull

heart strings. We've had tears, we've had all sorts. I have managed

to hold myself together. We have a fantastic closing ceremony to come.

You can hear some rehearsals in the background, probably. It will be

interesting to see how many people turn up at the beginning. We have

26,000 in total. Hopefully not all foo fighter fans. In terms of what

happens now, in the Invictus games, what do you want it to achieve, not

just whether it can be staged again and where, but the wider impact of

what we have seen? From the word go, once again in your mind you can see

how you hope it will pan out and hope that the way, from my

perspective, I hoped the way I felt in Colorado Springs who echo through

to others. Thankfully it has happened, which is great. I think

America, 22016, Canada -- 2016, Canada 2017, there are people saying

different things. I want to make sure it happens in the UK again.

People are only just finding out about it and how amazing it is and

how amazing it makes them feel and how amazing it makes the competitors

feel. It should be called "the good fun games." Invictus is a great

name. There have been some wonderful moments with Dave Henson saying his

new life can begin because of the Games. I walked around the lawns

today and a little girl said, I am going to start to do sport because I

have watched so much great stuff this week. We will show you a video

of the impact this has had. There is one person to thank and

that is Prince Harry, for putting this together and being the driving

force. Of events like this are once in a

lifetime deal, not only for athletes like me but for those in the tuure.

-- future It is something we hope to take home to Australia. I cannot

describe how I feel right now. For the people here and how they back

them up. I cannot believe how well they have done. It is on. It is more

than I could ever have hoped for. Thank you for believing in us and

giving us these fantastic moments and opportunities. Thank you, Harry.

We love you. Thank you, Harry. What do you think

when you hear that? It is fantastic. At the end of the day, sometimes I

find myself as being a voice for them. All I have done is create an

opportunity for them, through a lot of hard work from other people.

We've had fun doing it. It kept me out of the office. Kept me out of a

desk job. The thank yous - it is polite of them to say thank you. For

me, as I said, I know the effect it has on them. Why wouldn't you

enlarge something on a smaller scale to a bigger scale? Try and change

400 lives as opposed to one. That is just the competitors. We've had

e-mails from America, from the UK, children, wives, husbands, you name

it, all over the place, saying wow, I had given up all my life until I

saw what these guys had achieved. That is what it is about. They are

ambassadors to their nations and should be incredibly proud. It is

only the beginning. Congratulations on the start of something very

special. Thank you both for showing your support, along with the 26,000

other people as well. Bring on the next one. See you there.

It shows you what an important event this is. It is just the beginning.

We will hear from Prince Harry later on. I was struck by how he said it

is not over yet. He said it is not over until they all get on planes,

until they all get home safely and are back with their families and

everyone can recover. He said he would probably sleep for a week. It

is his birthday tomorrow. Tonight we will bring you highlights from

Darrell Goulding. We have James Blunt -- from Ellie Goulding. We

have James Blunt. First we have the Royal Corps of Drums.

It matters not how charged with punishment the scroll, I am the

master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.

hand. How did it feel up there? It was nice to be the first to sing

live tonight. When you heard about the Invictus Games, did you put up

your hands and say, I want to be there? Yes. It was a surprise. The

reason I am doing it solo is because my band are everywhere else in the

world. I am really happy to be here. For you, really strong connections

both your grandfathers were in the Army? And your father as well. You

are a photographer as well as a worldwide musician - you are a

photographer as well and you have produced these extraordinary images

of people in the Armed Forces, injured in the course of their work,

in the course of battle. I did a book which came out last year on

11th November, which was called Wounded - The Legacy of War. It is a

document to the time of the last 10-12 years, with people coming back

from the Middle East and Afghanistan, you know, seriously

wounded and the project started about five years before the book

release. It was to be an exhibition. There was no, I didn't really know

what we would end up with. But after having worked with 30 of these guys

and girls from the British Army, it felt right to make a book out of it.

Some are here competing in the Games. Let's see some of these

images because they are extremely powerful.

All these guys are great. What is interesting is a lot of them have

this thing that, OK, I've lost my legs, but I will keep going and the

determination not to let these injuries hold them back. It was

really humbling to work with them over the period of time that I did.

Let's look at Joe Townsend. He's in such good shape and really fit. Not

letting the injury get him down. I am really happy this is happening

for everybody. Not only is there the physical, but there is the moral

thing that happens and the psychological thing of being able to

carry on with your life and I made mention in the song She Knows Me,

about what has surprised me and made me happy is a lot of the wives and

girls with these guys before they went to combat are still there at

the end. Even though these guys had lost their legs or arms, they

carried on and some even have families now. It is fantastic. The

other amazing thing, I think, is the trust you have in them - the trust

they have in you as well to make the photos the way they are, because you

use humour in some, you use their personality. It comes across. It is

a terrific book and a great performance. Thank you very much.

The thing about working with these guys is they came in with the

humour. Believe me, sometimes it was like one guy would come in with six

others and they were all having a laugh. I think it continues on, even

though they are badly injured. Everyone is there for them, you

know. That is what is great about today. Exactly! It is what is great

about this event. Thank you for coming in. My pleasure.

Hello everyone. Hello, are we good today? First, we should say thank

you to the pipers, the brigade of Gurkhas. An amazing day. Thank you

for being here to support our wounded warriors. Thank you to

Diversity for helping us countdown in the closing ceremony. Thank you

to the legend that is Bryan Adams. So good!

I love Bryan Adams. Of so we have an amazing day for you today. Like I

said, to end an incredible week. Who do we have? We have the most

fantastic line-up. We have The Vamps on this stage. They are the fans!

The military wives are going to be on the stage. We have got a lady

called Ellie Goulding on this stage. We have the mighty Kaiser Chiefs.

And we have probably the biggest rock band in the entire world - the

Foo Fighters are going to be here. Oh, yeah! That is going to be a

moment - I cannot wait! Let's get things started. Are you ready for

your next act on this main stage? Please give it up for the Rizzle

Kicks. # Mama won't you please let me

going to take this back to its country roots. We sing something,

Thank you so much for listening to us! Have a good rest of your day.

Give her a wrap -- give a rapturous Invictus Games welcome to the

military wives. # My heart will build

a bridge of light Meehan Cowan Botha Botha Jaco Van

Gass Van Gass walk walk walk walk It must be a good feeling to be

here? We feel really happy and honoured to be part of an event

which inspires and motivates. We like to be advocators of both of

those. It has been amazing to watch some of the sporting action. Have

you caught bits and bobs of that? We caught some of it. The line-up is

decent. We have the Foo Fighters and all that sort of thing. It is always

interesting to be part of a variety line-up. You have parts of time to

be you. When an event is on this scale and covers so many

demographics, but to be on the same stage as the foo fighters is an

honour. It is fight to have Prince Harry ring you up and ask you to be

in this event. Harry is probably my favourite Royal. It is a sign of, it

is amazing he's put this together. It is a huge accomplishment. It is

great we could be part of that. It is amazing. I was saying before

that, Harry, he turned 30 recently. It is weird for me to think that,

because I am 22, he's been the youngest and to put something

together on this scale is great. See you soon.

And Greg will be back stage talking to as many performers as he can.

Only in the Invictus Games would you have Diversity, Rizzle Kicks and the

Military Wives. There'll be special ceremonies, where these will be

given to every single one who has participated in the Games. It is the

last two names of the poem, Invictus, the Master of my Stage and

I am the captain of my soul. And then that is repeated in Braille

around the outside. So that will be awarded to every single of the 410

servicemen and women. Those ceremonies will be split into four.

Let's look at the first. This included from Afghanistan,

Australia, Italy and Canada. As they came forward, they were

given a tremendous reception. The Afghan team, headed by the

delegation, said, we fought alongside all the nations in the

Invictus Games. We believe we are fighting together for peace. Here

comes the Australian team. A large number of competitors. 36 of them.

They won 32 medals in total. 10 gold. Their captain lost both his

legs in an explosion of August, 2012.

Dennis Ramsey, the Australian javelin champion. He took part in

rugby, volleyball as well and was in Prince Harry's team for the

wheelchair match. Canada now and their captain - they have 11

competitors. Won four medals in total.

And they have a lot of support. I am sure there'll be a bigger Canadian

team next time. They are very keen to host the Invictus Games. And

Italy had 13 competitors and won 11 medals, three of them gold.

And just of course to warn you that some of the performances tonight and

the medallion performances will contain some flashing imagery. We

will introduce you to the next act - they are The Vamps.

# Cecilia, you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily

# Put your hands up You're surrounded

# The whole love thing I clowned it

# Then who's the joker I guess I'm it

# Cos I let it right go when I found it

# You moved out of my heart Still got the bruise

# I'd give it all back to be next to you

# I turn my radio up and it's just my luck

# I turn my TV on It's the same old song

# It's like a missing you sign is written on my face

# It's like everybody knows cos everywhere I go

# The whole world is singing to me yeah

# Cecilia, you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily

# Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees I'm begging you please to come home

# Uh-huh-uh eh-eh uh-huh-uh eh-eh

# Uh-huh-uh eh-eh Uh-huh-uh eh-eh eh-oh

# I had the girl of my dreams And now she's all gone

# Thought that we could last forever I was all wrong

# Uh-huh-uh eh-eh uh-huh-uh eh-eh

Thank you so much, London! Every single one of you has been very,

very lovely! Enjoy the rest of your day and we will see you very soon!

# Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees I'm begging you please to come home

# Uh-huh-uh eh-eh uh-huh-uh eh-eh

# Uh-huh-uh eh-eh Uh-huh-uh eh-eh eh-oh. #

Let me hear you scream loudly, London!

worn my high heels besides you. Have you caught much of it and caught the

sporting action? I have been overseas and even there people have

picked up on it. It is what we do best in Britain, get behind our

wounded soldiers and look out for them. It has been a fantastic job

done by all. As an ex-serviceman you must know that the people who are

performing here and doing the sporting activities think this is

the greatest thing they have been part of for a while? These are

incredible men and women and have been totally self--less. You don't

get paid well this the Army and you are doing it as part of a team to go

to someone else's country to bring peace and stability and then to lose

your life in that process or to lose a limb - it is an incredible

sacrifice. For that to be recognised here, in this way, in this positive

way is amazing. To get a devastating injury is horrible when you have

trained to do something for so long, so I suppose doing an event like the

Invictus Games would be a way to achieve again. What is remarkable

about soldiers when they have been injured is how instantly positive

they are about their lives and are not going to be damaged in a

negative way. They approach it as a positive and meet the challenge.

This is exactly that. And great to get the nod from Prince Harry? I am

thrilled to have been invited by him. He's done a fantastic job

arranging this. Thank you for being part of the Invictus Games. See you

out Along the Military Wives James Blunt

has the best credentials, he went to Kosovo, retired from the Army in

2002 and wrote You're Beautiful and started a new chapter of his life.

You will see him on stage shortly. Let's show you one of the

ceremonies, this starting with Denmark.

They got 27 medals. This is Estonia. They had six competitors here. Two

medals and Estonia one of the smallest teams. France, with 18

competitors. They go home with 20 medals. Eight of them gold.

Georgia were competing as well. Germany you see there. They had 22

competitors. They had six medals. One gold for them.

Georgia I mentioned as well, the Netherlands and New Zealand making

up this group too. Georgia coming forward too. They were all wounded

in the war of 2008. The Netherlands there.

14 medal, one gold for them. Finally in this group New Zealand.

They had 12 competitors here. Five medals.

Being presented with the medals by members of the British Armed Forces.

Just the most fabulous reception for all of them. It is a huge crowd. It

has come of the appreciate t competitors.

Congratulations. What an amazing feeling to be here, to be part of

the Games. How did it feel to win your medals the other day? I am very

happy to win the 100 and 1200 metres. It is a good experience for

me to run in this stadium and to see Prince Harry. I am very happy. Very,

very. And you are very fast. As the French would say, "Tres Vite!

" I broke my record. I am very happy. I think you are a machine.

That is what you are. And a great turnout for the French team and good

medals won as well. First of all, I would like to thank Prince Harry for

inviting the French team here. For the Invictus Games - it is amazing.

Thank you very much. The only word I can say is, thank you very much.

Congratulations to you as well. What a great few days you have had. I've

had four amazing days. I really enjoyed it. It was so inspirational

and a good atmosphere. And you said to me a minute ago that you have had

a tough few years and today kind of makes up for all of that? Sorry,

what did you say? You had a tough few days and today makes up for a

lot of that? Definitely, yes. Three years ago I got injured. At first, I

had troubles with it mentally. I broke down after a while. Then the

Invictus Games came across and asked me if I want to participate in it.

From then I started swimming. That was really a great thing for me and

my mental condition. Thank you so much for your time. Congratulations.

See you maybe next year. Thank you. I know how much the competitors have

enjoyed competing in the venues used for the London Olympics and

Paralympics. All the swimming happened in the Aquatics Centre.

Rick was ill stating what is important -- illustrating what is so

important, is the mental damage done by war as well as the physical

damage. We heard from this performer a few moments ago as he spoke to

Greg before he took to the stage. It is a massive honour to be uphill

bob on stage in front of you. I want to dedicate this song to a very

special person indeed who has arranged these Games. Prince Harry,

this song is for you. # She could see from my face

that I was flying high # And I don't think that

I'll see her again # But we shared a moment

that will last till the end # There must be an angel

with a smile on her face # When she thought up

that I should be with you # You light the spark

in my bonfire heart # Starts the spark

in our bonfire hearts # You light the spark

in my bonfire heart # Starts the spark

in our bonfire hearts # Starts the spark

in our bonfire hearts. # # You light the spark

in my bonfire heart # Starts the spark

in our bonfire hearts # You light the spark

in my bonfire heart # Starts the spark

in our bonfire hearts. # - did you get a personal call from

Harry? I did. We are kind of mates. He asked if I would be interested.

Here I am, in my trousers, ready to go on stage. Is that accidental? No,

it is fashion. It is great he asked you personally. Obviously as the

royal singer you sang at Will's and Kate's reception. I was one of them,

anyway. It was quite a long time ago now. I am very happy that he asked

and with the foo fights and -- Foo Fighters and Kaiser Chiefs.

Rehabilitation through sport. I know you believe strongly in sport doing

good things for you - doesn't it? I keep fit to be a good performer. I

suppose it kind of fits because this promotes the rehabilitation and

promotes the people who serve our country and, I think an amazing

thing and quite apt for me to be here. I promote healthiness and

sports. In terms of your touring schedule, are you in the UK for a

while now? What is going on? Finally finished tour Vy -- I have finally

finishing touring for my record. I am starting on my third one now. I

have been touring it around the world. I have come back and I get to

chill a little bit. I get little things every now and then, mostly it

is in the studio in London. I won't have to travel that much, which is

nice. I am relieved to be back and quite happy. Thank you for your time

today. Well done for being part of the Invictus Games.

We will see Ellie Goulding perform in a moment or two. She spoke about

being healthy, getting fit and taking part in sport. If you have

seen something and think, I would like to try that, look at the get

inspired section of the BBC website and you can see more clips of the

Invictus Games and find out more about behind the scenes.

Prince Harry wondered if he would have the nerve to body surf. And he

did. On the same card we have seen Bryan Adams and Ryan Adams. They are

no relation. Here's Ryan. # All my life been shaking

wanting something # Holding everything I have

like it was broken # Gimme something

gimme something good # Gimme something good

Give me something good # All my life been shaking

wanting something # Holding everything I have like it

was broken # Gimme something

gimme something good # Gimme something good

Gimme something good # Give me something good

give me something good # All my life been shaking

wanting something # Holding everybody back to

round and round # Gimme something good

gimme something good # Give me something good

give me something good We have both gone for Clare Balding

here today! We had the same hair and make-up lady! How has your day been

so far, Kaiser Chiefs? We have seen some of the Vamps. We have been on

America and Australia with them. A couple of us went to South Africa

with them. So we know them pretty well! They don't know us but we know

them! Have you had a chance to watch much of the Invictus Games over the

last few days? And if so, what have you watched? Only a bit because we

have been touring. You know, around the globe! So we just got back... I

just got back Friday night or Saturday morning. It was late,

whatever it was. But I watched a bit on TV. It was good, wasn't it? And

when you get a call from someone like Prince Harry, it is a pretty

immediate yes, isn't it? Not everybody gets invited to these

Games. To the closing ceremony. Glad to be here. Who got the call?

Because it wasn't me! I had a voice mail! It always goes through Peanut.

If you need us for a bar mitzvah or wedding, go to Peanut! Has been a

real life affirming, amazing few days for them. I have had a few

selfies with people. It is an honour and a privilege to be here and we

hope we don't let anyone down. You won't! You will be fine. Thank you,

gentlemen. Kaiser Chiefs could never let

anybody down. The third Medallion ceremony of the evening of the

closing ceremony was for the second biggest team competing at these

Invictus Games, team USA, and we will have a look at them coming

forwards to accept their medallions. These given to every single person

who competed in the Games, and also going home with 90 medals. That was

Kelly coming forward. She won gold in shot. And the 400 metres. And

actually helping present the medallions to team USA was Jill

Biden, wife of Joe Biden, the vice president, the second lady. But a

big team and they are happy. We will be talking to their captain later in

the programme. And it is the USA who inspired the Invictus Games because

the Warrior Games started in 2010 for the US officers and soldiers and

people of the Armed Forces, but it is -- and American-only event.

That is the equivalent in a wheelchair of what Michael Jackson

used to be - the old moon-walking. That is the equivalent. A happy USA

team. Prince Harry said he will be happy when he knows everybody is

safely home. Some will jet back tomorrow. We heard from her earlier

speaking to Greg, let's see her now performing, here's Ellie Goulding.

I need something from you guys now. Let's get the energy up!

# I take a deep breath every time I pass your door

# I know you're there but I can't see you any more

# And that's the reason you're in the dark

# I've been a stranger ever since we fell apart

# Am I dreaming? Will I ever find you now?

# I walk in circles but I'll never figure out

# I try to fight this but I know I'm not that strong

# We don't have to worry 'bout nothing

# Cos we got the fire and we're burning one hell of a something

# They gonna see us from outer space, outer space

# Like we're the stars of the human race

# We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

# We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

# Is everybody's on the floor acting crazy

# We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

# We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

# We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

# We gonna let it burn, burn burn, burn

Cheers, guys! Have a good one. Thanks for having us.

How long have we got? We've got two minutes! How do you think we can

fill two minutes with a bit of fun? Starting with this side, because

this side was better! We now have one minute 30. Do you think we could

manage some sort of Mexican wave? CHEERING

This side, do not let me down! Are you ready? Are you ready to put your

hands in the air? Are you ready? One, two, three... That was good!

That was real good! But it wasn't great! I'm going back that way. Are

you ready? Are you ready? CHEERING

Oh, yes. This is the stuff! Are you ready? Are you ready?! Ow! Amazing!

OK... Now I've got about 20 seconds. Here goes.

# Oh, my God I can't believe it

# I've never been this far away from home

# And, oh, my God I can't believe it

# I've never been this far away from home. #

Ladies and gentlemen of the Invictus Games! It's been brilliant, hasn't

it! Well done, everybody! Whoa-whoa! Whoa-whoa! Hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey! British and American team. Thank

you. Well done. We will discuss the Games - well the highlights with you

in a moment. First, there was one final medallion ceremony and it was

for the team of the British Armed Forces.

Everyone out there, I know a lot of you didn't get a chance to see the

Games. For that, I am sorry. That's your fault! However, you're here

tonight to show your support for Team Great Britain and every other

single serviceman and woman who has taken part in the past week.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Just before I do the

obvious, I am going to do this because I love Dave Grohl.

If you have a drink, put it on the floor, no spillages. We are going to

do a Mexican wave from the front to the back. Put your drinks down! One,

two, three... Go! Ladies and gentlemen you have been

asleep for most of this evening because you have been waiting for

the Foo Fighters. However, you are let off. Now is your chance! Please

welcome to this stage Team Great Britain.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

A terrific introduction. 139 medals. 71 of them were gold. Captained by

Dave Henson. They were presented with their medals by surgeons,

therapists, clinicians, all of whom have played a significant role in

their rehabilitation. That is a really, really nice touch. It was

incredible to be, to have those guys there that played such a key part in

our recovery from start to finish here. Some of us are going to see

the pinnacle of our recovery, it is pretty fantastic.

Just a terrific statement of team spirit and everything that Prince

Harry could have dreamt that it would be.

There are just two things left to say, from all of us, every single

competitor - I want to hear three cheers for Prince Harry, because

without him none of this would have happened! So, hip-hiphooray. And

there's one more thing from all of us - without you guys here, our

friends and our families, we would be in pieces at home. With your

support, we are here, in front of you today. Thank you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was some speech! Was that just impromptu? Yes. That was impromptu.

The guys wanted me to say a little something, something. Someone gave

me a microphone and away we went. I like that we kick the ass out of

life. They have faced death in one shape or form. Here they are,

getting back into it. It is what they are doing - they are loving it.

And you'll have to pick up the pieces in the week ahead - it is his

birthday tomorrow, 30th birthday, like Prince Harry. There is bound to

be a coming down after this amazing high, It It has been incredible,

hasn't it? Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces and Dave has loved

this week. He is absolutely exhausted from seeing as much as he

can. He's been so proud and it has just been amazing. Have you seen a

real difference? Well, in terms of - he's so happy, so proud - I think it

has been great for all of the athletes in general. He's wanted to

make sure they are enjoying themselves as well. He's got

pleasure out of seeing them smiling and walking around everywhere.

You've had some lovely moments - your granddad was here as well,

wasn't he? He came down. Both sets of grandparents came down and it was

awesome. I knew my mum's mother and father were coming down. I didn't

know Harry was coming down. He did and he got to meet Prince Harry. It

was special for them. There were some tears around, all over the

place. And Chris, you have been to how many warrior games? The last two

years. How different is this - the rules are different. They are

competitive. The competitiveness is equal, but the ability at Warrior

Games is designed to keep it fresh for up and coming and new recovering

athletes or service members - women and men that are coming into sport.

So, if we had the open standard, where you have the same grade

athletes coming in every year, it wouldn't leave a window for

opportunity. So, once an athlete meets a National Standard in the

United States, they no longer participate in the Warrior Games. It

is more competitive and it is multinational and national as wesmt

will you be -- as well. Will you be feeding back - a standing start in

ninths, to put on this event is impressive. Presumably there'll be

things you will suggest? There are things you want to improve on. Great

Britain and especially Prince Harry put on quite a show. They set the

bar high for whoever will take it on next.

Next year is up for grabs. Dave, Chris talks about the standard of

competition, how high it is. You ran the 200 metres in 28 seconds. 28

dead. That makes you the eighth fastest double amputee - double or

single, actually. You could make the British Paralympic team if you

wanted to. What are you thinking about that now? At the minute, my

wife and I we have a child on the way. We are happy about that. I have

some exciting opportunities at Imperial College and I am studying

and the medicine and the science and research is moving forward to

benefit the guys. I am quite happy to keep the same level of training,

which has been tough this year. My coach has been fantastic. We will

stay together and hopefully to the World Championships next year. And

in 12 months' time we can see if it is a realistic opportunity. I

thought I would go to Rio and the bar was set so high. I have been

fortunate enough to spend four or five days with him over the course

of the last year. He is a massive, massive inspiration to me. If I can

follow in his footsteps that is not a bad way to go. Not at all. It will

be a hugely exciting time for you on many levels. Thank you very much,

all of you, for coming to this studio. We will head backstage and

join Greg, who was trying to catch up with some of those who accepted

their medallions. First we will get to your

achievements this week in a second. You didn't know Alex would be here,

did you? How did you get roped into this? This was the biggest shock. I

have been in front of 25,000 people. This is one person - just

incredible. Explain your roll in JJ's of rehabilitation? I a am a

plastic surgeon who visits Headley Court once a month. JJ was

undergoing rehabilitation, hit a plateau and wanted to know what

could be done about his hands. What was he like when you first met him

and started the surgery, I suppose? He is almost exactly the way he is

now. He is most exceptional as a human being, relentlessly positive.

He is a joy to look after. That was one of the most wonderful moments of

that documentary, your honesty and I cannot remember the quote, but you

said about not being an average person because you have trained hard

with your skills, and to come to an event like this week and ExCel must

be a great moment for you? It is has been the greatest moment of my life.

I have done some pretty crazy stuff in my life, but it is unbelievable.

That sums it up, 25,000 people treating us like we are rock stars.

The other 129 people in our team and the other nations are rock stars -

they are all incredible people. I am some joker who turned up. Like I

say, it is amazing to be doing this again. You can do the modesty. From

everybody who has been following the Games this week you are all true

inspirations and heroes. We have enJoed it and we wish you all --

enjoyed it and we wish you the best for the next Invictus Games? How can

this go away. If it is every two years, all around the world, I know

we look forward to doing it again and again and again. As a team,

we've had a craziest time. We've loved every second of it. The people

who turned up, shaking our hands and saying thank you. I turned around

and said, thank you, thank you for doing this. Why would that go away?

It has put a smile on one person's face, it is worth it. It seems to

put a smile on a lot of people's faces. Have a great rest of your

evening. JJ and two of his British team-mates

crossing the line together, hand in hand. There is one final act to come

and of course only one person to introduce them.

Good evening, London. Firstly, I would like to read a

short message from granny. At this closing ceremony of the

inaugural Invictus Games, Prince Philip and I send our health-felt

congratulations to the organisers and supporters of this competition.

Most importantly, to you, men and women of the Armed Forces, who have

overcome great adversity just to take part in these Games.

As I have followed the competition, over the past four day...

All of you have raised awareness of the challenges faced by wounded

veterans T success of these Games can be measured not by medals won,

but by the sense of purpose in your abilities you have gained.

I send my warmest good wishes and congratulations to you all.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I know a lot of you, most of you, can't wait for the Foo Fighters.

Bear with me! I have a long list of thank yous.

Thank you to all of you for being here this evening.

To all of those watching at home. And to everyone else who has been to

watch the Games over the past four days.

The support you have shown to all the competitors over these past four

days has been truly fantastic. It has helped create an experience that

they will never, ever forget. Give yourselves a round of applause.

None of this would have been possible in such a short space of

time without a huge amount of hard work from a great many people, as I

am sure you understand. Donors, sponsors, volunteers, officials, I

could go on, but I won't. It is impossible for me to name

everybody involved. I must mention Sir Keith Mills.

I am immensely grateful to him for embracing the vision and making this

concept a reality. Also to the Games board, who have guided the project

team as they worked at 100 miles per hour for the past seven months.

To Ed, Dominic and the rest of the project team, guys, I am really

sorry for all the work, but what a success. Thank you!

These Games have shown a spotlight on the character of servicemen and

women and their families, their Invictus spirit. On Wednesday

evening, I said the Games would mark the end of one chapter and the

beginning of a new one. All of the competitors have tonight

received a participation medal. For some, this is every bit as

significant as the gold medals are to the winners. These Games have

been about seeing guys sprinting for the finish line and then turning

around to count the last man in. They have been about team-mates, not

wanting to come second, but not wanting the other guys to either.

These Games have shown the very best of human spirit.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Many of us have friends who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and are

no longer with us this evening. We just want to take a moment to

remember them. And then, there are others, perhaps

watching at home, at an earlier stage of their recovery, or for whom

the challenges ahead seem unsurmountable. We knew these Games

would inspire people to overcome their challenges, whether physical

or mental and try something they thought was impossible. A lady

called Kara e-mailed us about the Games and what it meant to her. She

said, "I struggled for ten years with autoimmune problems. Now I feel

I can start to see myself as someone new. Up until my awareness of the

Invictus Games I was living in memories and mourning for what I had

lost when I got sick at the age of 24. In my mind, my life was over and

I was just waiting to be done. Because I felt I wasn't capable over

doing or living like I used to. I am starting to think now that my game

has just begun too." These last four days have shown how

effective sport is in recovery. It allows the mind and body to heal,

but it is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

So, what comes next? For many of these great people, what comes next

is jobs. And Foo Fighters! By definition, servicemen and women are

highly skilled, well trained and motivated people. Many of those

injured are young men and women, with their whole lives ahead of

them. For those no longer able to serve in the Armed Forces, the

future is often uncertain. However, we should be there, ready to support

them if or when they need it. For a few... Sorry, this is dragging

on! For a few, it is important, for a, this may mean long-term physical

and mental support. For the majority it means fulfilling employment, not

special treatment, but to be treated as they were before injury, with

respect, admiration and recognition for their considerable talents.

As the focus inevitably moves elsewhere, through the work of our

foundation, William and I will continue to draw attention to the

challenges facing all those leaving the Armed Forces, whether wounded or

not. And ensure that they can do so with purpose, with hope and with

confidence. They are a credit to our nation and to each nation here at

these Games. CHEERING AND

APPLAUSE I am almost done. I have Dave Grohl screaming at me

from behind! He's not... He's really old - come

on! Two years ago, Britain hosted the

most incredible Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Two months ago, we did it with the Commonwealth Games.

And now you have done it again with the first ever Invictus Games.

It is what we do and don't we do it well?

And to you guys, the competitors, wow, thank you for an awesome week.

And a personal joke to Team GB - oh, backs ter, you know I don't speak

span -- Baxter, you know I don't speak Spanish - you win. I hope

other cities in Britain and other countries will look at this

competition, what it has meant to those taking part and the

inspiration it has given to all those watching and take up the

challenge for the next Invictus Games.

Finally, I want to thank all the artists who have given up their time

to support the cause and come and entertain you. Thank you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

time and time again want to tell you about - first the

Jaguar Award, awarded to an athlete who have performed beyond all others

and this was made by Catherine Granger, the Olympic champion. The

winner tonight of the exceptional performance award is Joe Townsend of

the British Armed Forces. He is 26 years old. He stepped on a

tank mine in 2008, lost both his legs. Has been here winning four

gold medal ossen the opening day on the track. A bronze and silver on

Saturday in the hand cycling. An amazing performance from him and the

other special award was the Land Rover Award. This was for an athlete

who inspired other people, inspired those who were watching him as well.

This was made by the Rugby World Cup winner.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the winner of the

unconquerorable soul award. Give a massive round of applause for

Maurice Manuel. He is the Danish captain. He stepped

on an IED and had his leg amputated in 2011. He has taken part in 400

metres and others. You can tell he's not a man who takes no for an

answer. That is what the last five days have been about. Prince Harry

summed it up. He said this is not just about the power of sport to

rehabilitate and restore, it is about what happens next. It is about

employers seeing talent, ability, seeing the competitors here and the

wider field of those and seeing them for what they can contribute. It is

not about anybody being in a game which is coming to an end. It is

about the beginning of a new game. I thought the whole documentary was

incredible. The start of the week where Dave Henson said, my life can

start again because of Invictus. I think that was one of the most

powerful thingsvy seen across the whole -- things I seen across the

coverage. Harry said, it is what we do and don't we do it well.

A big thank you to the competitors, to the artists and to Prince Harry,

whose brain child this was. And a great way to finish is to rejoin

what is happening on the main stage and the Foo Fighters.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm

going to sing a song... Yeah. I'm going to do a song that I hope you

will sing with me. If you know it. If you don't... Just seeing what the

guy next to you is singing! -- just saying. It's going to sound real

good! You got a medal, man. What did you win? Look at you! Ha -ha!

Congratulations! Thank you very much. This song, let

me tell you, I might sing this song to you but I'm going to sing this

song to all of the athletes that came out and played at this thing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Because the reason why we are here

is for you. We haven't been here in a few years, you know. It's a while

since we've played in this country. So... We came here. I got a call

from a friend. My friend said, hey, is it OK if I give Prince Harry your

phone number? And I said, erm, OK... Everybody else has it! Why not

Prince Harry? He called me up and we talked a little bit. He told me

about what was happening here and we haven't been here in a long time and

it seemed like the perfect way to combat and play a bit for you,

because... -- to come back and play. Because we wanted to return for you.

So this song goes out to everybody that's here tonight, everybody that

was involved in the events. I'm very happy and honoured to be here.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # I've got another confession

to make! # Everyone's got their chains

to break # The best, the best

the best of you? # The best, the best

the best of you? # You gave me something

that I didn't have # Is someone getting the best
