HEROES in Prince Harry’s Invictus Games have returned to show off their medals.

Nine veterans and serving personnel who have been supported by the rehabiliation centre, Phoenix House at Catterick Garrison, are celebrating their success.

The Invictus Games in London featured servicemen and woman from 14 nations to spotlight their sacrifices, including Mikey Hall, from Richmond, who was partially paralysed after falling during an army assault course. He said winning bronze and gold in archery was “the best day of my life after joining the army”.

Other winners were archery gold medallist David Hubber, Gaz Golightly and Chris Attis, gold in wheelchair basketball; Cowan Botha, bronze in rowing; Frank Eva and Sevici Navelinikoro, gold in seated volleyball; Rob Cromey-Hawk, with two gold medals in cycling; Dave Hubber, with two gold medals in archery; Luke Reeson, with two bronze, two silver and gold in swimming; Craig Preece, with two gold in cycling; and Kieran Wood, with a bronze medal in rowing.

Mr Hall . Sport has played a vital role in his recovery, and has been supported by Phoenix House in completing Iron Man challenges, and Edinburgh to London bike rides to support Help for Heroes.

He now uses a compound bow, ideal for target shooting and easier to use when in a wheelchair.

This year, he was selected to spend 10 days in Sochi as part of the British Paralympic Association’s Paralympic Inspiration Programme and dreams of taking part in Rio 2016.

Archery gold medallist David Hubber injured his back in 2001 when playing ice hockey for the army and was medially discharged in 2013. As well as his spinal injury, which means he uses a wheelchair, he also suffers from a psychological condition.

Also returning to Phoenix House was Gaz Golightly and Chris Attis, who took home gold in wheelchair basketball; Cowan Botha, who received a bronze medal in rowing; Frank Eva and Sevici Navelinikoro who took home gold in seated volleyball; Rob Cromey-Hawk, with two gold medals in cycling; Dave Hubber, with two gold medals in archery; Luke Reeson, with two bronze, two silver and gold in swimming; Craig Preece, with two gold in cycling; and Kieran Wood, with a bronze medal in rowing.

Phoenix House manager Mo Usman said: “We are so proud of all our athletes returning from the Games.

“They have done extremely well and the atmosphere at Phoenix House has been fantastic today.”
