00:06There's no surrendering, no surrendering ability to rugby at all, which is one of the two years of armour.
00:11As you can see, winning a medal, it's actually a few people who are playing.
00:16It's actually just taking a round there onto the field of play.
00:38One year from today, the world will come here to the great city of Birmingham for the Invictus Games 2027.
00:46To bring the Games back to the UK 13 years after London 2014 obviously feels incredibly special for all of
00:54us.
00:54Not just because this is where the Invictus journey first began, but because Britain has always understood the importance of
01:03service.
01:04Let's see what's in store.
01:38Today we've had a glimpse of what's waiting for us next summer.
01:41We've seen determination, we've seen laughter, some sweat, and we've seen people trying something new, cheering each other on,
01:51and proving once again that sport has an incredible way of bringing people together.
02:08Of course, while the Games are famous for the competition, they have always been about more than the medals.
02:15At the heart of Invictus are the competitors.
02:20Remarkable men and women who have served their countries and who continue to show us what courage really looks like.
02:28But no one gets to the start line alone.
02:31Families who stand beside them every step of the way.
02:35Friends who never stop believing.
02:38Volunteers who give their time so generously.
02:42Supporters who fill the stands.
02:46And communities who open their arms.
03:10The countdown starts now and let's make Birmingham 2027 games worthy of those who have served.
03:22That concludes the speeches.
03:24So, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for the time.
03:27Thank you so much for being here.
