WATCH: Young history fans explore the famous Bayeux Tapestry

It's nearly 1,000 years old and tells the story of a battle that changed England forever. Now it's on display in the UK for the very first time.

Shanequa met young history fans Mohammed and Roman at the British Museum in London to see the Bayeux Tapestry up close to learn about the dramatic story stitched into its fabric.

The incredible embroidered artwork tells the story of the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Watch as they got a special look at the tapestry before it opened to the public.
