If you're anywhere near Peterborough, I strongly recommend visiting The Longest Yarn at the cathedral. A stunning 80m long display of knitted and crocheted scenes of the D-Day landings. The attention to detail is incredible. It's really quite moving.

On D-Day’s 80th anniversary, volunteers knit for victory with ‘The Longest Yarn’ The 3D tapestry – 80 panels stretching 80 meters – depicts scenes from D-Day and was completed by over 1,000 volunteers from the U.K., the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand.
