How awesome would it be to actually be able to go to see this tapestry? I recall being a small child at school being taught about the Bayeux tapestry back in the early 1970’s and not having anything other than a picture in a text book to look at as we learned about medieval history in my Scottish primary school.
Now here the tapestry is on British soil for the first time in a thousand years, that is incredible and such a historic moment. A twelve month exhibition is quite generous and for such a valuable piece of history too. It must have been such a surreal experience for all the ordinary people that were able to take part in the process and get to see this tapestry up close. A great piece of family history to tell their loved ones about and pass down the family line in the future.
