Hope the damage isn’t that bad but doesn’t look good!

Been there a few times.

If not, he's likely to take the hump...

That's going to get a lot worse.

What a huge cultural loss.

yes Hopefully there's no loss of life.

I wonder how well equipped the fire service are there. AIUI* there's no high rise buildings allowed so would they have the reach to get that high?

*Vague memories from school a few decades ago.

ETA nothing higher than 7 storeys in the centre apparently.

That's going to be a total loss, no way will they be able to get enough kit up there to tackle it

Live video on sky its well going, will be hard to put that out. Whilst I have no interest in churches its sad to see something that's 700 yeas old burn.

Absolutely heartbreaking, I'd have thought a thousand year old cathedral and world heritage site would have had sprinklers.
