“The Invictus games shone a spotlight on the incomparable character of servicemen and women and their families,” the Prince said. “Their stories move, inspire and humble me.

“They are as amazing as they are unique and I am absolutely delighted that the team is receiving this Pride of Britain Award.”

Harry, who serviced as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan added: “I can only begin to imagine how challenging the journey of recovery is and the admiration I have for these men and women is limitless.”

The Invictus Games – a sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women – were held last month.
