المصدر: GB News | Source: GB NewsFrench President Emmanuel Macron has called upon Britain to continue to "join forces" with France as the Bayeux Tapestry arrives in the UK.
The almost 1,000 year old embroidered cloth arrived at the British museum in the middle of the night from France, who are loaning the tapestry to Britain.
Mr Macron said the loan is evidence of what the two countries "can achieve when they join forces" and a "tangible expression of long-standing friendship".
It is estimated roughly 7.5 million people will head to the British Museum in London to see the tapestry, which will be showing from September to July next year.

"The UK is a strategic partner, ally and friend of France.
"Faced with the major challenges of our time – the security of our continent, technological sovereignty, innovation, energy and decarbonisation, and the resilience of our democracies – we have chosen to act together."
The embroidery depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in 1066, widely believed to have been made in England.
