Message de Noël
Gerald MC (Please note that soundbite is overlaid with file pictures of Madeleine) "This special time of year is all about families coming together with love and peace. Many people in nations all around the world will be spending time with their loved ones. People will be reflecting on the year which has gone and the one which is about to come. This is usually a time of great joy, especially for children. Clearly for us and the rest of our family it's going to be the hardest Christmas imaginable without our Madeleine here."
Kate MC (Please note that soundbite is overlaid with shot of hands) "For the past seven and a half months so many people have been so kind and helpful. They have come forward with pieces of information. They have offered us support and help in so many ways. I would like to thank everybody who has shown us that compassion to us and to Madeleine and for all the help they have given us. I would also like to thank our friends in Portugal who have stayed with us and continued to support us since those very early, desperate and vulnerable days."
GMC (Please note that soundbite is overlaid with file still of Madeleine) "However since Madeleine was taken from us on the 3 May, someone knows what happened to her and may well know where she is now. That person has it within their power to show us the compassion to end this terrible ordeal for us."
KMC (Please note that soundbite is overlaid with file still and file pictures of Madeleine) "If that person is you, we understand that you may be staying silent because of fear for yourself or through misguided loyalty to other people. But you must understand that you hold the key to ending all this despair and anguish, for both us and Madeleine. You can help an innocent 4-year old girl. At this time of year, when so many families are coming together we beg you to help us be reunited with Madeleine. Please do the right thing and come forward."
GMC (Please note that soundbite is overlaid with file stills and file pictures of Madeleine) "Please please give us that information. Give it to your local police or phone our confidential helpline number, which is 0034 902300 213. If you can't do that please tell a priest or another religious minister or someone else. Our beautiful daughter should be home with us at Christmas time. Please do it. Please help Madeleine."
KMC(Please note that soundbite is overlaid with file pictures of Madeleine) "Madeleine, it seems unlikely you will hear this but just in case it's mummy and daddy here. Just know how much we love you, Madeleine. We all miss you so much. Sean and Amelie talk about you all the time, every day. They really want you back with them. We're doing everything we can, Madeleine, to find you and there are so many good and very kind people helping us. Be brave sweetheart. Our only Christmas wish is for you to be back with us again and we're hoping and praying that that will happen. Love you Madeleine."
GMC "Love you".
