While the world is still mourning the loss of Notre Dame, a heartwarming photo clicked just minutes before the fire engulfed the iconic structure, is doing rounds on the internet.
The photographer who took the picture posted it on Twitter, hoping to find the father-daughter duo.
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 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/pEu33ubqCK

Later, the photographer also tweeted that she wasn’t sure if the two were father-daughter.
@ everyone in my dm’s:

-I do not know for sure if it was a dad and daughter, it’s 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
(1/?)
The devastating fire brought down the church’s spire that extended 315 feet high and is being termed as a historic loss for the entire world.
