Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

The Bayeux Tapestry has fascinated me since childhood! Would love to see it in person!
"The Bayeux Tapestry has fascinated me since childhood! Would love to see it in person!"
I remember all those years ago, in school, being told about the Bayeux Tapestry, and the chap with a arrow in his eye..
Our Teacher told us that she lived in France during the school holiday months in Normandy, and went often to study it.
If we had the chance ever to see it, you must, she told us
So, finally at the age of 55, I got the chance, so off I went to see it, and highly delighted that I did
In the shop, they had pieces of the Tapestry for sale (copies), but they were VERY expensive.
