Stitch yourself into the Bayeux Tapestry.
960 years ago today, Harold and William fought on a Sussex ridge, and someone embroidered the story onto 70 metres of linen. The Tapestry is in Britain this autumn for the first time in over 900 years. Now it's your turn: name your hero, pick your scenes, and watch your saga stitch itself — Latin captions included.
