MADELEINE McCann’s parents say they still get messages from all over the world telling them people “haven’t forgotten” their missing daughter.

Mum Kate said she and husband Gerry, both 47, were amazed by the continuing support from total strangers — and that it kept them going.

She said: “This Christmas we got hundreds of cards saying, ‘We haven’t forgotten her’, ‘We’re still looking’. It’s staggering.

"The four of us all sat down together and opened them.

"It was just such a positive experience.

“They were from America, Russia, Japan — there was even one from Trinidad and Tobago.”

Madeleine, then three, vanished from a Portugal holiday apartment in 2007.

Kate, of Rothley, Leics, is appealing to get people to sign up to receive free Child Rescue Alerts.

Run by charity Missing People, they are sent if a kid goes missing or is feared abducted.
