Madeleine McCann's younger sister Amelie, 18, speaks publicly for the first time
at candle ceremony to mark 16 years since her abduction, calling it 'a sad
occasion'

• This is the first time Amelie McCann has been pictured since she was a child
• Amelie said: 'It's nice that everyone is here together but it's a sad occasion'

Madeleine McCann's younger sister spoke publicly for the first time last night
as her family marked the poignant 16th anniversary of the toddler's
disappearance.

Maddie was taken by a predator from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May
2007 when she was just three in an unfortunate accident that could have happened to any parent

Her sister Amelie, now 18, joined her parents and well-wishers last night at a
candle service dedicated to her. She said: 'It's nice that everyone is here
together, but it's a sad occasion.'

It was the first time Amelie, who is applying to go to university, has been
pictured since she was a toddler - giving a glimpse of what her older sibling
may look like as an adult.

Bless Amelie and Sean having to grow up their entire remembered lives in
the shadow of their missing sister and negative media around their parents.
It must have been very challenging. I wish them both happy and peaceful
adult lives.
