The Invictus Games is the only international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.
The Games, launched in 2014, use sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect of all those who serve their country.
David announced his status as ambassador on social media earlier this year.
In a poignant post, he said that he “couldn’t wait to be a part of the energy and excellence of the Games this year”.
He added: I’ve been lucky enough to meet and work with many serving, veteran and wounded British armed forces personnel over the years and I’ve been humbled by the courage, resilience and spirit shown by each and every one of them.
“The entire Invictus Games team, led by the Duke of Sussex, has achieved remarkable things in such a short space of time, using sport as a powerful force to rehabilitate and unite.”
