Drone footage shows Notre Dame Cathedral fire damage – video
~
Aerial footage reveals the extent of the damage to Notre Dame Cathedral after a fire tore through the 850-year-old structure.
Up to 500 firefighters had battled to contain the flames on Monday evening.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has vowed to rebuild the Paris landmark within five years.
The fire started at the base of the 93-metre spire and spread through the cathedral’s ribbed roof,
made up of hundreds of oak beams, some dating back to the 13th century
