created a new tapestry to mark 950 years since the Battle of Hastings,

:00:27.:00:29.

one of the most important events in English history.

BBC reporter Holly Hamilton is with the artwork in the town

Imagine having to come up with the top ten events

Not easy but the schoolchildren have managed to do it and it's

:00:59.:01:02.

which has had a bit of a 21st-century tilt,

:01:14.:01:15.

Queen Victoria's Coronation, looking fabulous. This is the brainchild of

:01:16.:01:27.

a fantastic well-known author, how did you come up with this idea?

:01:28.:01:33.

English Heritage asked me if I would redo a modern version and it was the

:01:34.:01:37.

children came up with the ideas. They picked the moments in history

:01:38.:01:43.

so it was my job to turn it into a kind of Bayeux tapestry but we will

:01:44.:01:49.

have a more modern twist in it. They particularly asked me because they

:01:50.:01:53.

wanted me to do it in a style like the Tom Gates books. Which a lot of

It's nearly four years now since the Olympics came to London

:02:28.:02:31.

The big star heading into the Games was Mr Usain Bolt.
