Experts believe reconstruction work could take decades

Hundreds of millions of euros have been pledged to renovate Notre-Dame cathedral after Monday's devastating blaze.

French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed that the Unesco World Heritage site will be rebuilt "even more beautifully", but some experts have warned that reconstruction could take decades.

Images from the cathedral's interior show the extent of the damage.

Firefighters have sent a drone to survey the scale of destruction in the Gothic building

The blaze quickly tore across the roof of the cathedral before firefighters managed to halt its spread

The cathedral's spire was also destroyed in the blaze

Debris lies around the cathedral floor after the fire

Deputy Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said the structure was in good condition "overall" but that "some vulnerabilities" had been found

Photos show at least one of the rose windows survived the fire

And many of the statues at Notre-Dame had been removed in the days before the fire because of ongoing renovation works

A number of historical and religious artefacts were also saved from the blaze and have been moved to safety

While President Macron has called for repairs to conclude within five years, experts warn it could take decades to fix the iconic cathedral
