Doors have opened to the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum. It has gone on public display in the UK for the first time since it was created nearly 1,000 years ago. The Bayeux Tapestry was originally embroidered in England and tells the story of the Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Outside the museum, visitors - some shield-wielding re-enactors - have been queuing to get in to be some of the first to see it. Tap the link in @BBCNews's bio to read more. #BayeuxTapestry #BBCNews
