Children spell out a special appeal yesterday at the school where missing Madeleine McCann is due to start next term. They gathered in the playground to form the message which was photographed from a helicopter. Anguished parents Gerry and Kate McCann had been due to attend an induction evening at tiny Bishop Ellis Catholic Primary in Thurmaston, Leicester. But they remain in Praia da Luz, Portugal. A school cloakroom peg is being kept free for four-year-old Maddie. Head Gail Neill said: “We pray for her safe return.” (The Sun)
