Visitors to the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth, Hampshire, will even get a chance to touch the artefacts, which include a Tudor comb and knife.

During the most recent expedition marine archaeologists found large pieces of the vessel's missing front section, which had broken off from the rest of the ship.

Other items that will be on display at the museum in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard include Tudor dagger handles, a pocket sundial, stone and iron shot and the pommel of a sword.

All the artefacts were retrieved during the recent dive season.

"Public interest during the dive this year was phenomenal and the decision to display the artefacts immediately for this bank holiday weekend follows considerable public demand", explained John Lippiett, chief executive of the Mary Rose Trust .

The showing coincides with BBC Radio 4's programme Reunion, to be broadcast on Sunday 29 August and dedicated to the team behind the raising of the Mary Rose.
