I do enjoy running down a ditch full of mud, firing bullets. It’s the way I am. I love it.

Conversations with my mother, father, my grandparents, as I've grown up have obviously driven me towards wanting to try and make a difference as much as possible.

For me personally, as I said, I want to serve my country. I've done it once, and I'm still in the army, I feel as though I should get the opportunity to do it again.

I have witnessed first-hand how the power of sport can positively impact the lives of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women in their journey of recovery. The Invictus Games will focus on what they can achieve post-injury and celebrate their fighting spirit, through an inclusive sporting competition that recognises the sacrifice they have made. I am extremely proud that we are bringing an event like this to the UK for the first time and believe it can have a long-lasting impact on the well-being of those who have served their nations so bravely.

This is not just about women. We men need to recognize the part we play, too. Real men treat women with the dignity and respect they deserve.

I've served my country.

There’s a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish, obviously, that we were just completely normal.
