Invictus Games: Team UK vice-captain hopes to spread positive message in Germany

A spectacle of an opening ceremony kicked off the 2023 Invictus Games.

Prior to heading out to the games in Düsseldorf, Force News spoke to former RAF nurse, Kelly McVitty, Team UK's vice-captain at this year's games.

She completed three tours of Afghanistan and was selected to compete in The Hague games last year, but after finding out she was pregnant with her son, Jackson, she had to withdraw.
