## Caption

The Bayeux Tapestry has arrived in the UK, for the first time since it is believed to have been created here nearly 1,000 years ago.
 
At 02:50 BST, chaperoned from a secret location in northern France by a police guard, it was driven into a loading bay at the British Museum, which will put it on display in September.
 
The 70-metre long, 11th-Century embroidery depicts in 58 scenes the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 - the moment that changed the country forever.
