Madeleine McCann's sister, now 18, makes poignant statement on 16th anniversary of her disappearance

Madeleine McCann's sister marked the poignant 16th anniversary of her disappearance at a vigil with her parents.

Amelie, now 18, lit a candle for her sister at the gathering in their home village of Rothley in Leicestershire, the Mirror reports. She later said: "It’s nice that everyone is here together but it’s a sad occasion."

The blonde teenager, who is applying to go to university, was casually dressed in navy leggings, trainers and a cream puffa jacket. She was warmly welcomed along with her parents Kate and Gerry by locals and supporters during the informal prayer gathering.
