Kate McCann has written a special message for a church service to mark the one-year anniversary of her daughter Madeleine’s disappearance, a priest said today.

Kate and Gerry McCann were keen to portray a picture of normal family life in Portugal today despite being named as formal suspects over the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.

Relations between Portuguese police and Madeleine McCann’s parents are under strain today after detectives revealed in an interview that she might have been killed, without telling her family first.

Football fans will again be enlisted in the search for Madeleine McCann today, when a film of the missing girl is played at the FA Cup Final.
