A competitor in the Invictus Games said sport lifted him “out of that darkness” following a traumatic leg injury.
Jonny Ball, an Army Staff Sergeant from Wellingborough, won a bronze in powerlifting at the event in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Invictus Games was set up in 2014 by Prince Harry for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.
Mr Ball said the week-long event was “something that’s been so tremendously impactful for my life”.
