Okay, here's the cockup!
Madeleine is dressed as a pumpkin - correct
Was taken just three months before she went missing in Portugal in MAY 2007 - incorrect
Unless I missed it, when was Halloween moved to three months BEFORE Madeleine went missing, November is SIX months before May. And where on the Official Find Madeleine Site does it say that? It was posted for Halloween 2014 as a favorite picture of Kate and Gerry. The problems with errors like this is that it will be latched onto by the nuts on twitter, Facebook etc because they don't bother to read things, they just want to lambast and harass the McCann at every opportunity. Watch the vitriol build up. Sykes

A new photograph of Madeleine McCann – dressed as a pumpkin for Halloween – has been released by a campaign group, with the blessing of her parents.
The touching photograph shows a happy and beaming Maddie dressed as an orange pumpkin, wearing white trainers and clutching a cuddly teddy bear, grinning for the camera.
The picture – believed to be one of the favourites of her parents Gerry, 45, and Kate, 46 – was taken months before the then three-year-old went missing from Praia da Luz resort in Portugal in 2007.
The new picture, showing Madeleine dressed as a pumpkin has been released by a campaign group, with the blessing of her parents. It was published alongside the more well-known picture of her clutching three tennis balls under her chin.
The new photo appears on the Facebook page of the Official Find Madeleine Campaign, which is supported by the McCanns.
The photograph was released on Friday to mark Halloween, and appears beside three others of Maddie, including the well-known one of her clutching three tennis balls under her chin.
A source close to the McCanns said: ‘The photo which hasn’t been seen before has been put out as part of the campaign and is authorised by Kate and Gerry.’
The new picture is accompanied by a plea, saying: ‘Someone, somewhere knows where Madeleine is.
'PLEASE come forward if you know anything about her whereabouts.’
Hundreds of well-wishers have left messages of support since the new photo was posted.
One well-wisher, Maxine Hilson, wrote: ‘I pray that these lovely brave people will be reunited with Madeleine one day.
‘My husband was killed by a dangerous driver two years ago but at least I know where he is.’
