Watch live as King Charles and Queen Camilla<\/a> join Emmanuel Macron<\/a> and Andy Burnham<\/a> to visit the Bayeux Tapestry<\/a> at the British Museum on Wednesday (2 September).<\/p>\n

The King and the French president will make speeches celebrating the loan at a reception in the museum, attended by representatives from Britain and France involved in the process and schoolchildren from both countries.<\/p>\n

Their Majesties, the French<\/a> president, and the British prime minister walked the length of the 70-metre masterpiece<\/a> in a public display of warm Anglo-French relations.<\/p>\n

They were joined by France’s first lady Brigitte Macron and Mr Burnham’s wife Marie-France van Heel.<\/p>\n

The world-famous Tapestry, <\/a>the woven record of the Norman conquest, is on loan until September 2027 as part of a special trilateral agreement between the UK, France and the museum.<\/p>\n

It is the first time the Tapestry has returned to England since it was made almost 1,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

The party heard from curators about historic events, such as the coronation of Harold Godwinson and the much-disputed depiction of his death by an arrow to the eye at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, shown at key sections of the 11th-century artwork.<\/p>\n
