Madeleine sister spotted as she breaks her silence
The McCann’s message comes not long after Madeleine’s sister was pictured for the first time in public since she was a toddler.
Amelie attended a prayer service to mark the 16th anniversary of her sister’s disappearance. Her twin brother, Sean, wasn’t in attendance.
She attended the service, which was held in Leicestershire alongside her parents, Kate and Gerry, as well as a friend. The pair were seen lighting a candle for Madeleine and other missing children at the war memorial.
Amelie reflected on the “sad occasion” as she spoke about her sister’s disappearance for the first time. However, she seemed touched by the support from members of the public.
