00:10I'm very pleased today to welcome my first overseas visitor as Prime Minister and it's so
00:17pretty that it is our nearest neighbor and close friend Emmanuel. On behalf of everyone here,
00:26can I thank you for your huge personal gesture of goodwill, trust and friendship with Britain in
00:36allowing the Bayeux Tapestry to be displayed here. It will, I think I'm certain in saying this, it will
00:44lift so many lives and particularly as we both saw last night, the lives of children who learn
00:50about this tapestry in school as I did and so many of us did when we were young. It shows
00:57what
00:58collaboration can achieve just as we are also showing on Ukraine, on small boats and also on
01:07strengthening the UK-EU relationship. So I look forward to discussing those themes further with
01:15you today but can I just say you are so welcome to Downing Street and we're so pleased to have
01:20you with us today.
