William and Kate posted their message of support on social media just a few hours before flag bearers Lucy Shuker, a wheelchair tennis player, and wheelchair basketball athlete Terry Bywater led our ParalympicsGB team in the athletes' procession.

The royal couple wrote on X: "Looking forward to another few weeks of incredible sport!

"Wishing the very best of luck to our @ParalympicsGB athletes and all those competing at #Paris2024.

The team also received a Edward, message from Prince who is patron of the British Paralympian Association.

In his post on X, the Duke of Edinburgh said: "To all members of the @ParalympicsGB team heading for Paris, whether athletes, officials or staff, I want to wish you the very best of luck at the Paralympic Games."
