The mother of Madeleine McCann has urged parents of missing children to 'never give up' as she reveals how she hopes 'tomorrow is the day' something leads her back to her daughter.
Kate McCann was speaking at a carol service on Monday in London for missing people and comes as she prepares for her twelfth Christmas without her daughter.
Maddie disappeared as a toddler from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007.

Speaking at the carol service, The Sun reports how Ms McCann said: 'Just maybe tomorrow will be the day we find something to lead us back to Madeleine and to know what happened.
'It gives us hope. Never give up hope.'
While at the service held in St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square, Ms McCann also lit candles for those missing.
The probe into Maddie's disappearance was granted £150,000 more funding by the Home Office in March.
More than £11million has been spent so far on the probe to find the missing girl, who vanished 11-and-a-half years ago, and the investigation has repeatedly come under fire.
Since being launched in May 2011, officers have sifted (and translated) 40,000 documents produced by Portuguese police who conducted the initial investigation, and by the eight teams of private detectives who have worked on the case.
Some 600 'persons of interest' have been examined and 'sightings' of Madeleine — in Brazil, India, Morocco and Paraguay, on a German plane and in a New Zealand supermarket — assessed.

The Portuguese investigation of Madeleine's disappearance was criticised by the British authorities as being not fit for purpose.
Detectives believe she was stolen by child traffickers, sex fiends or during a burglary gone wrong.
In May, her parents posted a poignant tribute to mark their daughter's 15th birthday - telling her: 'We love you and we're waiting for you and we're never going to give up.'
Gerry and his wife Kate wrote 'Happy 15th Birthday Madeleine!' on the official Find Madeleine Campaign Facebook page.
The message accompanied a cherished last photo of her as a three-year-old, smiling under a wide-brimmed sun hat and is posted alongside a green and yellow ribbon symbolising hope, strength and solidarity.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
