The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have issued a new appeal to help trace her.
Kate and Gerry McCann released a new video featuring previously unseen footage of the little girl playing happily with her family before her disappearance.
The clips were mostly filmed around Christmas 2006, the last time the McCanns were together with all three of their children over the festive period.
Madeleine was nearly four when she vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on 3 May last year as her parents dined with friends nearby.
Mr and Mrs McCann decided not to appear in the new video, but it includes a direct emotional appeal from them for assistance: ‘Christmas is a time for children. Please help bring our daughter back.’
And it closes with the words: ‘This will be our second Christmas without our daughter. Please help us make sure we don't have a third.’
