@theipaper: France is loaning the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum for the first time since it was made almost 1,000 years ago - so how can you get tickets? The 70 metre long artwork tells the story of the Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings in 1066. A whopping 80,000 people waited in the online queue for tickets, leaving many disappointed. But for those who missed out, the museum will soon be releasing another batch.
