Chichester Cathedral will rings its bells in solidarity with Notre Dame following a 'catastrophic' fire on Monday night.

The Archbishop of Paris asked for the churches of France to ring their bells after a blaze at the 850-year-old cathedral which destroyed much of the roof and cause the historic spire to collapse.

In response to this, the Archbishop of Canterbury asked that the cathedrals and churches of the Church of England could, as far as possible, toll a bell on Maundy Thursday evening at 7pm for seven minutes.
