Overlord embroidery
|
|
|
Vast embroidery depicting the events of *D-day. Designed by Sandra Lawrence and created in 34 panels by women of the Royal School of Needlework, it is 15m/49ft longer than the *Bayeux tapestry and consciously rivals its great predecessor, celebrating a successful return encounter – an invasion of Normandy to match the Norman Conquest. It hangs now in the D-day Museum at Portsmouth.
