At the Invictus Games, there are many stories of resilience and inner strength. But perhaps none more so than Swindon's Corrie Mapp - representing his nation, but proud of his town and his county.

He lost both legs in 2010 in an ambush in Afghanistan, while serving in the The Household Cavalry. Today his only concern is to give something back, to inspire others.

With roots in Barbados, Corrie excels at sport - he has played disabled cricket for Hampshire, was part of the ParaOlympic bobsleigh team - and it's been a key part of his physical and mental recovery.

When he's back home in Swindon, he helps at the Royal Legion centre - assisting other veterans.

He is a hero who is fiercely competitive...but a man who judges success not in medals, but rather in being an example to others.
