Perhaps in years to come the residents of Luz will celebrate the day the McCanns ran out of their town and out of Portugal by holding a festa in which those dressed as K&G. the Tapas 7, Clarence Mitchell, grandmas McCann & Healy, auntie Phil etc etc together with assorted other members of TM, are booed and pelted with eggs and rotten tomatoes as their procession wends its way through the town to a Renault Scenic which they each ceremonially enter by one door and exit the other, before quickly changing into their party clothes and joining in all the fun of a fireworks and foam party on the beach.

Such an event could become as popular as the re-telling of the battles of the Christians and the Moors which are enacted in the cities, towns, and villages of neighbouring Spain during the summer months. There won't be any need for horses and camels but the children can be entertained by the sight of stilt walkers dressed as cuddlecats throwing bonbons into the crowd.

The morning after the fiesta a commemorative service of thanks for the brief life of Madeleine McCann could be held at Luz's small inter-demoninational church and an effigy of cuddlecat buried by the rocks on the shoreline in the style of the Iberian penisula's festivals de la sardina which are held annually on Ash Wednesday.

Oh dear. How true, this horrid fiasco could be one of those nasty events whereby people are so angry that they want to stick the protagonists into stocks and throw rotten eggs and tomatoes at them. Yes, perhaps forever this hideous crime to be remembered with effigys of the principal 'players' being paraded through town and then ceremoniously set light to on a giant bonfire, with, as you say, cuddlecat at the top of the pyre.

Madeline RIP.

The position at the top of any pyre is strictly reserved for the exclusive use of the saintly one and her spouse, j.rob, and, as an innocent abroad who willingly gave up his secret up to Eddie, poor cuddlecat has done nothing to deserve being burnt to a crisp and is, if anything, the hero of the piece although, unfortunately, he was unable to save his owner - whoever that may be.

What you've suggested may come to be enacted one November 5th in Lewes, which is famous for its bonfire night traditions which have seen numerous effigies of despised figures past and present paraded around the town before being put to the torch to the sound of rousing cheers and fireworks. On this day the town also commemorates the 17 Protestant martyrs burnt at the stake between 1550-57 and remembers its fallen sons of two world wars.

IM0 the long suffering residents of Luz deserve a day of fun and general hilarity at the expense of those who exploited their kindness and repaid it by maligning the town's good name and the name of Madeleine McCann should rightfully be commemorated in the place where her brief life came to its needless end
