      I guess the Starmers and the Macrons got on really well.

      It was actually made in England so not the first time its been here

      Edit for the downvoters: “Now widely accepted to have been made in England, perhaps as a gift for William, it tells the story from the point of view of the conquering Normans and for centuries has been preserved in Normandy.”

    4. Feels like your parents showing you the 8mm film your father took of your own birth.
      Thanks Mum, I could live without seeing that thank you.

    5. I think they were planning to bring it over in 2020 but it got cancelled because of COVID.

      I remember reading about the plans to wind it around a huge drum for transport.

      Finally, our reward for giving up fishing and youth mobility. All of the concessions of finally paid off. France has handed the tapestry over

      if i knew i could wait 35 years for it to come to england i wouldn’t have needed to go on that school trip to see it.

    9. We should refuse to return it once it’s over here and offer to return to the EU the Parthenon marbles in exchange.

      Why? There’s already a perfectly good copy in Reading Museum, and it’s not even had to be patched up!

      “The (Bayeux) museum is closing in September this year to undergo refurbishment for two years, after which the tapestry is due to return to Bayeux.”

      Nah, once it’s in the British Museum, it stays in the British Museum, mwahaha!

      They want to get it back before 2029 incase Farage has it burnt.

      It was supposed to be coming over just before lockdown so I’m pleased its now coming over

      I remember this was announced several years ago and it ended up not happening. Something about the tapestry being too fragile in the end.

      Either that or the state visit has suddenly put Macron in a generous mood today.
