Millions pledged to rebuild Notre Dame after devastating blaze
Firefighters tackle the blaze as flames and smoke rise from Notre Dame cathedral as it burns in Paris, yesterday
MILLIONS have been pledged to help rebuild Notre Dame after a devastating blaze ripped through the 850-year-old Paris cathedral yesterday, causing the collapse of its spire and roof.
The fire was described by French President Emmanuel Macron as “a terrible tragedy.” He announced an international fundraising effort to rebuild the cathedral.
Officials suggested that the fire could be linked to renovation work which began after cracks appeared in the stoneworks of the Gothic building.
