Team GB get the Will to win

PRINCE William and wife Kate have spurred on our athletes to rule at the Paralympics.

Before the Games opened in Paris last night, the royal couple wrote on X: "Looking forward to another few weeks of incredible sport!

"Wishing the very best of luck to our Paralympics GB athletes and all those competing at Paris 2024. W & C."

Two British stars of 2012 lead our medal charge as Paris looks to recapture the spirit of the London Games, the most successful Paralympics in history.
