This is haunting to watch.
Yesterday, the world watched in shock as flames engulfed Notre Dame Cathedral, causing catastrophic damage to the 850-year-old historic building.
An amazing thing can happen in times of great sadness, however, when the best of humanity comes together in support.
One such moment happened last night, as crowds gathered to watch the terrible events unfold.
Footage shows the large group of people starting to sing as the flames from Notre Dame rose.
Watch some amazing clips here.
