Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May announced today that the church bells would toll in “solidarity with France” and offered the British “expertise” to rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral, which was destroyed yesterday by flames.
“Notre-Dame is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world – a symbol of France and the French people, and cherished across the globe,” the British Prime Minister said in a press release, characterizing the images of the fire truly “heart-rending”.
“To underline our solidarity with France and her people, the bells at Westminster Abbey will toll at 17:43 local time (18:43 Paris time, 19:43 Athens time) to mark the moment the fire began yesterday,” the announcement said.
