But in October he was one of the stars of Harry’s Invictus Games in Toronto, winning four medals for rowing and swimming.

Mark, injured by a Taliban roadside bomb on Christmas Eve 2007, said: “It has been the most amazing journey.

“It has taken me from being blown up and wanting to end it all to the very best days of my life.

"I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.”
