The parents of children who have disappeared have marked International Missing Children’s Day with a special service. The ceremony was held at Leicester Cathedral – the day particularly poignant to the city because of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal two years ago. According to the charity Missing, since then 1,200 young people have disappeared. Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry, launched the event last week but were not at the service. Other members of the McCann family were – all working together to try and raise the profile of all missing children.
On Friday, Mr and Mrs McCann met with parents of other youngsters who have disappeared.
