On Monday, Notre-Dame de Paris went up in flames.

The world watched in awe as firefighters worked to control the ‘likely accidental’ blaze as it quickly ripped through the medieval Catholic Cathedral, causing untold amounts of damage.

On Tuesday, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed tweeted a message of support to France, as the country vows to rebuild the medieval structure and donations from Europe’s wealthiest families come rolling in.
