00:00Let me also pay tribute to you, Your Majesty, for your vision in backing the
00:05bringing of the Bayeux Tapestry to Britain and to everyone who made this
00:10happen. It shows the power of collaboration to lift people's lives, the
00:17power of culture to capture our imaginations and bring people closer, to
00:24make us more acutely aware of our connections to each other. And I'm
00:29so delighted that so many people, a million according to the chair of the
00:34Museum George, will now share this moment and imagine the number of children that
00:40will come through having read about it in their history books will come through
00:45and see it with their own eyes for themselves, history right in front of
00:51them. And isn't it wonderful ladies and gentlemen that we have the next
00:55generation with us this evening. Young people from Britain and from France
01:02together seeing this moment of history.
