Saturday's sad milestone will be marked by Kate, husband Gerry and close family praying for the girl’s return

Kate McCann is often still “paralysed” by sadness over the disappearance of her daughter Madeleine, who vanished seven years ago tomorrow.

The sad milestone will be marked by Kate, husband Gerry and close family praying for the girl’s return.

Kate, 46, said: “Our situation seems as unbelievable as it did that very first night without Madeleine.

“Whenever I find myself becoming paralysed with disbelief, unease, frustration or sadness, I have to refocus my mind on the positives.”

Kate, a former GP, singled out Scotland Yard’s investigation for making “encouraging progress.”

She also made a veiled attack on the Portuguese police who have so far stalled in committing to join forces with British detectives.

But she said UK police were “cautiously optimistic” of starting inquiries on the ground in Portugal very soon.

Kate added: “The passing of further weeks and months as a result of unnecessary delays and barriers are not only frustrating they are distressing.

“Each day without Madeleine and each day of not knowing is another day too many.”

Kate and Gerry, 45, will take nine-year-old twins Sean and Amelie to a prayer service at the war memorial in their village of Rothley, Leics.

Madeleine was three when she vanished from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal. She would now be almost 11.

Kate’s beloved Everton Football Club will mark the sombre anniversary before their Premier League match against Man City this evening by urging fans to remember Madeleine.
