With green and yellow ribbons in her hair and cuddle cat hanging limply from her hand, Kate began crying uncontrollably in the arms of a pal.
Kate, standing in the aisle of the church near her home in Rothley, Leics, then buried her head into her female friend’s shoulder whispering through her tears: “I just want her back, I just want her back.”
Behind her, on a board with the message “Pray for Madeleine”, were six photographs of her daughter.
Earlier in the service husband Gerry had tenderly stroked the nape of Kate’s neck.
An onlooker said: “Kate is supposed to be the ice maiden, who some have accused of faking tears in a TV interview. There was nothing fake about the tears here. Many found it unbearable to watch." (The Sun)
