One of the so called 'Tapas Seven' - who was with Madeleine McCann's parents on the night the toddler vanished - spoke at the vigil held for the missing tot last night.
Dr Fiona Payne joined Kate and Gerry McCann in lighting a candle to mark the 16th anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance. Fiona was one of the friends that were dining with Kate and Gerry while on holiday in Portugal on the night the three-year-old vanished in May 2007.
As reported by the Mirror, Fiona read the poem 'Hope is the thing with feathers' by Emily Dickinson. She then hugged Kate, who she has remained close to, as they were seen chatting at yesterday's emotive evening.
