'It started off as a gate topper... I got a little bit carried away'
An exhibition featuring the work of an army of knitters that tells the story of the D-Day landings has gone on display in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
The Longest Yarn at St Macartin's Cathedral features 80 scenes detailing the preparation, beach assaults and battles of the 1944 Normandy campaign.
One depicts the weather report provided by Maureen Sweeney from Blacksod lighthouse in County Mayo which postponed the Allied invasion by 24 hours.
The creator of the project Tansy Forster was born in Magherafelt and now lives in Normandy, France.
"It started off as a topper for my garden gate and I'm afraid I got a little bit carried away," she explained.
