Madeleine McCann's parents share emotional 21st birthday message
Madeleine McCann's parents have shared a heartbreaking message as they marked their daughter's 21st birthday.
Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann posted the message on the official Find Maddie Campaign Facebook page, with a photo of Maddie in a pink dress and bucket hat - one of the last photos taken of her before she disappeared.
"Happy 21st Birthday Madeleine. Still missing. Still missed. Still looking," they wrote.
They added the word "hope" on the Facebook photo posted on the page where people regularly donate towards the search efforts to find the missing girl.
It's been 17 years since Madeleine disappeared on May 3 2007, and earlier this month her parents shared another poignant message on the anniversary of her disappearance.
"It's 17 years since Madeleine was taken from us," the message posted to social media read.
"It's hard to even say that number without shaking our heads in disbelief."
"Whilst we are fortunate in many ways and able to live a relatively normal and enjoyable life now, the 'living in limbo' is still very unsettling. And the absence still aches.
"Your support continues to encourage us and bolsters our strength to keep going. We know the love and hope for Madeleine and the will to find her, even after so many years, remains, and we are truly thankful for that.
"Thank you again for remembering Madeleine and all missing children."
