Britain’s King Charles and French President Emmanuel Macron have viewed the nearly 1,000-year-old Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum.⁣ ⁣ The 70-metre embroidery, which depicts William the Conqueror’s invasion of England in 1066, has returned to English soil for the first time since it was created.⁣ ⁣ Charles, Britain’s Queen Camilla, Macron, his wife Brigitte and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham walked along the historic artwork, which shows key moments from the Norman conquest, including the Battle of Hastings and the death of King Harold.⁣ ⁣ The loan is part of a cultural exchange between Britain and France, with the UK sending the Sutton Hoo treasures and other historic artefacts to French museums in return. The leaders described the exchange as a symbol of the countries’ shared history and closer ties.⁣ ⁣ The exhibition opens to the public on September 10 and will run until July 2027.⁣ ⁣ #BayeuxTapestry #KingCharles #EmmanuelMacron #BritishMuseum #UK #France
