The 1861 Merklin organ at the church of the Immaculate Conception in Saint-Omer, Northern France, has been completely destroyed in an overnight fire, believed to be the work of arsonists. The fire broke out at 4.30 am on Monday and the bell-tower collapsed very quickly.
One suspect has been detained.
