Say hello to the Bayeux Tapestry

The Tapestry of the Norman Conquest of England is to be loaned to the UK

The Bayeux Tapestry is set to be displayed in the UK after France agreed it could leave its shores for the first time in 950 years.
French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to announce the loan. Previously he has said the tapestry - which depicts the Norman Conquest of England - would not be transferred before 2020.
