Four days of inspirational performances and stories have come to an end as the Invictus Games wrap up their stay at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports with a closing ceremony.

Thursday night was punctuated with a spectacular concert including performances from top acts such as Grammy-nominated and Florida native Flo Rida, pop star Rachel Platten, former American Idol-winner Phillip Phillips and The Voice Season 9 winner Jordan Smith. But the night belonged to the 454 wounded or sick military members and veterans who came together from 14 counties to compete in 10 Paralympic-style sports during the second annual Invictus Games.

Prince Harry, who created the Invictus Games as a way to inspire and uplift wounded and sick military members, was on hand to wrap up the night.
