Two broken threads have been discovered in the Bayeux Tapestry after its journey from France to Britain, the French culture minister has said, although it was not significantly damaged.
Officials insist the damage is minimal and the historic tapestry is more or less “in the same condition upon arriving in London as it was before leaving Bayeux”, Catherine Pégard said in an interview on Friday, just days before the artefact is due to go on show in the British Museum in a monumental moment.
