On Saturday, France's iconic Notre Dame Cathedral re-opened for the first time in five years since the destructive fire that destroyed the landmark. 

The restoration which took more than five years was celebrated by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Macron welcomed dozens of world leaders and figures to celebrate the glorious landmark re-opening. 

Several political and multi-party talks were held on the sidelines of the event, especially with the presence of US President-Elect Donald Trump, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, UK Crown Prince William, and US First Lady Jill Biden.

Notre Dame’s Rector Olivier Ribadeau Dumas said the cathedral is "more than just a French monument” and a treasure of the world's cultural heritage.

He added: “The cathedral is a magnificent symbol of unity," describing: "A sign of hope, because what seemed impossible has become possible.”
