Photos: ‘Superman’ who lost three limbs after kneeling on Afghanistan bomb won a silver medal

A ROYAL Marine who lost three limbs after kneeling on a bomb in Afghanistan was praised by Prince Harry last night after picking up sliver at the Invictus Games.

Mark Ormrod came second in the indoor rowing event in Toronto and received a handshake from the Royal as he was presented with his medal.
The Invictus Games are a multi-sport event for wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel.
It was created by Prince Harry and Invictus stands for "unconquered" or "undefeated" in Latin.
The week-long event will see 550 competitors from 17 nations competing against one another in 12 different sports.
Sporting events at the Games include wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball and indoor rowing, and the events tend to attract a crowd packed with politicians and Royals.
The first ever Invictus Games took place in March 2014 at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, United Kingdom.
