Lighting a candle for Maddie
Students light Chinese lanterns to mark 1,000 days since the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
A teacher who grew up with the father of Madeleine McCann enlisted the help of pupils to mark 1,000 days since her disappearance.
Pupils at St John Rigby Lower School in Polhill Avenue took part in the national lighting of 1,000 Chinese lanterns last Wednesday to raise awareness of the search for the missing tot.
Caroline Swift, who organised the event, said: "I have known Gerry all my life, our mothers were friends when we were growing up.
"This is not the kind of thing that you ever encounter, it's very shocking and it's ongoing. As memories fade Kate and Gerry are still living this nightmare."
Madeleine McCann was abducted in Praia da Luz, Portugal in May 2007. To find out more visit www.findmadeleine.com
