The Bayeux Tapestry, chronicling the Norman conquest of England and that battle in 1066, is arguably the most famous piece of embroidery ever created. Yet, when it was rediscovered 300 years ago, the final section appeared to be missing. That was until a team of embroiderers on Alderney, a small island just off the coast of William's native Normandy, created what they believe could have been the missing section. It consists of four panels showing events following the Battle of Hastings and culminates with William's coronation.. The project took a year to complete with embroiders using the same techniques, fabrics, colours and wool used in the original tapestry - all of which won it a place alongside the original at the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux.
