In a statement, Kate and Gerry McCann said they still need to know what happened to her, "no matter what". Madeleine disappeared on 3 May , shortly before her fourth birthday on 12 May. People usually gather in her home village of Rothley in Leicestershire to mark the anniversary.
However, the pandemic meant this could not happen so online prayers were said instead. In their statement, Mr and Mrs McCann said: "Every May is tough - a reminder of years passed, of years together lost, or stolen. Enough said. They said the Covid pandemic had made the year "even more difficult for many reasons", but were thankful the investigation to find Madeleine had continued.
We are very grateful to the police for their continued efforts. The Reverend Rob Gladstone, vicar of Rothley Parish Church, asked people to continue to pray for Madeleine's family and the families of other missing children. During the online service on Monday, he also read a poem called The Beacon , which was written by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage especially for the family.

All we have ever wanted is to find her, uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice. We will never give up hope of finding Madeleine alive but whatever the outcome may be, we need to know as we need to find peace. We will be making no further comment regarding the appeal today. We would like to thank the general public for their ongoing support and encourage anyone who has information directly related to the appeal, to contact the police. I don't think any of us could have predicted the situation we all find ourselves in currently.
It shows how easy it is to become complacent with our lives and circumstances, albeit a totally normal and understandable, human characteristic. It is now 13 years since we were last with Madeleine. Her 17 th birthday is to follow in the next couple of weeks…. We are very conscious that many families around the world are experiencing similar feelings at this time……being separated from each other and with many having lost loved ones prematurely and unexpectedly.
There will also be many vulnerable people whose situation will have become even more precarious in the current lockdown conditions, with fear, worry and isolation - emotions that we dreaded Madeleine experiencing and which haunted us for a long time - and still do on occasions.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those suffering at this time. We have been fortunate to spend more time together as a family since lockdown began, an enforced block to a usually frenetic life, a silver lining to this dark cloud.
It has made us think about Madeleine even more, as she would have shared this period of special closeness with us too. The investigation to find Madeleine remains open and continues, even though, in a way different to the ideal.
