My friends, take a look at this link:

it is a new look at the official website, also spread it to everyone you know. Thank you.

Thank you, Pedro:

It's Christmas - again. A time of mixed emotions for our family and many others in similar positions around the world. A time to hold together.

Thank you to all our supporters for your help throughout the year and for remaining united with us in our longing and determination to find Madeleine.

The year has ended on a positive note. Our search for Madeleine and the Metropolitan Police review of the case are progressing well. In addition, this December saw a landmark event for the protection of, and support for, missing children and their families left behind. The Government's Missing Children and Adults' Strategy aims to reduce the number of people who go missing; to protect the missing whilst they are away and to give families access to support, similar to victims of crime. The strategy follows 12 months of campaigning by individuals and organisations like the charity Missing People.

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign and influenced this significant development.

This Christmas, please keep Madeleine and all missing loved ones and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

The support you give enables us to move into 2012 with renewed energy and continued hope.


Kate and Gerry

you welcome bb1.

The Star has a story about the appeal; I'll post it when it appears later.

XMAS 'JIGSAW POSTER' BID TO TRACE MADELEINE MCCANN

22nd December 2011 By Jerry Lawton
MADELEINE McCann’s parents say they have new hope, thanks to a UK police search for their daughter.

And Kate and Gerry McCann posted a jigsaw picture of Maddie on their website with the plea: “Do you hold the missing piece of the puzzle?”

The doctors, both 43, said Christmas was “a time of mixed emotions” for them but insisted they would “hold together”.

On the findmadeleine.com website they said: “The year has ended on a positive note.

“Our search and the Metropolitan Police review of the case are progressing well.’’

The couple also welcomed the introduction of the Government’s Missing Children And Adults’ Strategy to reduce the number of people who disappear, and support those left behind.

Madeleine, then three, vanished from a holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007. Portuguese police failed to solve the case.

But now Scotland Yard detectives are reviewing the investigation following a request from Prime Minister David Cameron.

MADELEINE MCCANN JIGSAW IS COMING TOGETHER

Thursday December 22,2011
By John Chapman
THE parents of missing Madeleine McCann yesterday spoke of their “renewed energy and continued hope” of finding their daughter.
In a Christmas message on the family’s website, Kate and Gerry McCann posted a jigsaw picture of Madeleine with the question: “Do you hold the missing piece of the puzzle?”
“It’s Christmas – again,” the couple wrote. “A time of mixed emotions for our family and many others in similar positions around the world. A time to hold together.” They added: “The year has ended on a positive note. Our search for Madeleine and the Metropolitan Police review of the case are progressing well.”
The couple, from Rothley, Leicestershire, welcomed the Government’s new Missing Children and Adults’ Strategy and thanked those who had campaigned for it. They ended: “This Christmas, please keep Madeleine and all missing loved ones and their families in your thoughts and prayers.Thank you. The support you give enables us to move into 2012 with renewed energy and continued hope. Kate and Gerry.”
Next May will mark the fifth anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance from the family’s holiday apartment in Portugal. She would now be eight years old.

I don't recall the Express linking directing to the website before?

I wonder if the way in which the Express and Star are at the forefront of promoting the McCann efforts to find Madeleine are an expression of their guilt and shame for posting such horrendous stories in the past?

I had the same thought - the Sun normally carries the link, but I don't recall anyone else doing it?

Well NI also have a great deal of shame about their disgusting unauthorised use of the diaries as well. I have a suspicion that the company bosses in both cases are doing their best to make up for their horrible actions in the past.

Good, coverage in the Sun, too.

The one I would really like to see come clean is Martin Brunt. He broadcast rather a lot of rubbish, to millions of people.

Oh course, maybe he is reluctant to, what with his phone conversation with Murat ending up in the police files, due to Murat's phone being bugged....

For me, this is what really matters:

"On the findmadeleine.com website they said: “The year has ended on a positive note.

“Our search and the Metropolitan Police review of the case are progressing well.’’

The couple also welcomed the introduction of the Government’s Missing Children And Adults’ Strategy to reduce the number of people who disappear, and support those left behind".

Well done couple McCann, well done Scotland Yard. Keep up the good work.

Many thanks, Pedro - let's hope something good comes of the appeal.

That's the thing - someone knows what happened to Madeleine after she was abducted from 5a.

Time people broke their silence and spoke out, especially as the Portuguese authorities finally seem to be moving against Gonc and his cronies.

you welcome bb1, I agree with you.
