A netizen tweeted a heartwarming photo of a ‘father and daughter’ playing in front of the Notre Dame cathedral moments before the 850-year-old church was engulfed in flames.
Brooke Windsor tweeted, “I took this photo as we were leaving #NotreDame about an hour before it caught on fire. I almost went up to the dad and asked if he wanted it. Now I wish I had. Twitter if you have any magic, help him find this.”

However, Windsor added that she was not sure whether the two were a father-daughter tandem. “I do not know for sure if it was a dad and daughter, itâs simply the dynamic I observed from them while debating on interrupting this moment.”
@ everyone in my dmâs:
-I do not know for sure if it was a dad and daughter, itâs simply the dynamic I observed from them while debating on interrupting this moment. It may be an uncle, brother, friend, who knows until we find them.
-It was taken at 5:57 local time
