McCanns mark Madeleine’s fifth birthday

MADELEINE McCann’s parents marked their missing daughter’s fifth birthday privately at home yesterday.

A low-key party was held for the benefit of her younger brother and sister, three-year-old twins Sean and Amelie, yet it was “just another day without her” for Gerry and Kate McCann, said their spokesman.

The couple could, however, report that their recent appeal for information has drawn thousands of emails and hundreds of phone calls.
