It was a warm summer evening and Michel Delannoy, a priest in the Arras diocese in northern France, had invited all the refugees living in the Norrent-Fontes camp to eat pancakes.
“It was nice. There was a good atmosphere,” Delannoy said. “The gendarmerie called around 7am the next morning, saying ‘There has been a problem, can you come over?’”
At the station Delannoy was handed a photo of a man lying on the ground. The priest was shocked to recognise Mansour Hamid. They had eaten pancakes together only a few hours before.
