Friends of Madeleine McCann's family have launched a set of luggage labels to help find the missing four-year-old. Neighbours of Madeleine's aunt designed the brightly-coloured yellow and purple labels, featuring her picture and police contact details.
Jacqueline McKernan and Elaine Doyle are appealing to holidaymakers to download the labels from the internet and tie them on their luggage to keep the search for Madeleine in the public eye.The two women - who work for West Dunbartonshire Council - also want sunseekers to tie the labels to their beach and camera bags and display them in their resort hotel. Jacqueline McKernan, a spokeswoman for West Dunbartonshire Council, said: "The luggage tags show four-year-old Madeleine McCann's picture and police contact details."
Around 13 million Britons are expected to go abroad in July and August.
"They are very distinctive and we hope people will take a tag to tie onto their luggage when going on holiday over the next few weeks. We would also encourage them to tie a tag to their beach/camera bags etc. while at their resort. We need to keep the search for Madeleine alive by continuing to raise awareness and promote her image abroad."
