I get that it will be rebuilt and that will be a triumph, however it won't be the same. The original stained glass is going to be lost, as will the Organ which dates back to the mid 1740's. This is a building that has seen the coronation of kings and rulers, marriages of great families. It survived one of the most destructive conflicts in world history.
