Yule’s result of 190 kilograms saw him claim top honours ahead of Estonia’s Raigo Roots on 120kg and Australia’s Christopher Collins on 105kg.

The Scot said he was delighted to receive his medal from Prince Harry, the patron and inspiration behind the inaugural Invictus Games in London in 2014.

"If I could have picked anybody, it would have been him," said Yule, who is expected to represent Britain at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro later this year.

"He (Prince Harry) is such a supporter of all injured servicemen worldwide now and I’m sure everybody looks upon that.

"He puts a lot of pressure on people, high people, to make sure the boys are looked after.

"I’m sure we’d be in a worse place without him."

There was further success for Britain in the men’s heavyweight powerlifting, which saw Sean Gaffney triumph with 171kg.

Ross Austen was second with 150kg, while fellow Briton Ian Taylor and France's Charlot Laurent were third with 142kg.

The women’s lightweight gold medal went the way of the United States’ Sarah Rudder, who headed the standings with 49kg followed by Australia’s Darleen Brown with 40kg and Britain’s Sarah Claricoates with 31kg.

Canada’s Christine Gauthier topped the women’s heavyweight podium with 76kg, while Britain’s Nerys Peace came second with 73kg and Canada’s Natascha Dupuis ended up third with 71kg.

The most exciting road cycling race of the day was the IRB3 men's circuit as Andrew Perrin clocked a time of 42 min 07.06sec to stave off the challenge of fellow Briton Michael Westwell, who was the runner-up in 42:09.3.

Canada’s Mike Fuentespina sneaked in for bronze in 42:09.8, thus denying a British clean sweep.

Australia’s Curtis McGrath, a double leg amputee after devastating injuries suffered in an improvised explosive device attack while on duty in Afghanistan, was among the indoor rowing gold medallists. 

A score of 344 in the IR4 men 1min event saw him finish ahead of Britons William Prosser and Scott Meenagh with 325 and 306 respectively.

Britain won four of the six archery finals, headlined by Gareth Paterson’s success in the individual novice recurve with a near perfect shot.

Canada’s Nicolas Meunier had to settle for second spot, while Britain’s Martin Clapton was third.

Angelito Barbierato won gold in the individual open recurve ahead of fellow Briton Chris Macfadyen and Italy’s Fabio Tomasulo.

Britain also won the novice recurve and open recurve team events with Canada and the US second and third in the former and France and Italy the silver and bronze medallists in the latter.

Canada’s Luc Rolland Joseph Martin was victorious in the individual open compound with the US’s Chasity Kuczer second and France’s Florian Cieplak third.

The open compound team podium was topped by the US with Canada second and Britain third.
