SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA—Prince Harry scaled the Sydney Harbor Bridge on Friday to raise a flag marking the arrival of the Invictus Games, his brainchild and the focus of his current royal tour of Australia and the South Pacific. Britain’s Prince Harry (top) and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison (second from top) join a group of Invictus Games athletes on Sydney Harbour Bridge for the flying of the Invictus Games Flag in Sydney on Oct. 19. Harry, Prime Minister Scott Morrison, four members of the Australian team and the widow of an Australian veteran climbed more than 1,000 steps up the back of an arch to raise the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 flag. “The Sydney Harbor Bridge is an Australian icon and I can think of no better place to raise the ... flag,” Morrison said in a statement. The flag will fly 134 metres (440 feet) above Sydney Harbor until the games close on Oct. 27.
