The British Museum has announced measures to tackle massive queues for the Bayeux Tapestry after hundreds of fans were turned away or forced to wait for hours.
Plans are being made to increase opening hours, add more signage and introduce an audio guide for visitors at the London museum.
It comes after museumgoers reportedly faced queues of up to two hours to get a glimpse of the 70m-long 11th century tapestry.
Some unlucky visitors were even turned away due to the huge backlogs when the museum closed for a private gala dinner attended by Chancellor John Healey and the Princess Royal.
