Scotland Yard is to continue the hunt for Madeleine McCann, the Telegraph can reveal ahead of the 11th anniversary of her disappearance on Thursday.

The Home Office has granted the force an extra £154,000 in funding which will allow detectives to extend the investigation for another six months.

Operation Grange, which was launched by the Metropolitan Police in 2011, is still pursuing several lines of inquiry.

It's now 11 years since Madeleine's disappearance from her family's holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz on May 3 2007 when she was abducted.


Her parents said “hope and perseverance remain” on the anniversary of their daughter’s kidnap.

In a posting on the official Find Madeleine Campaign Facebook page they said: “It gets hard to know what to say or write as each anniversary of Madeleine’s abduction approaches then passes.

“Life is full and busy which helps but Madeleine is still missing and is dearly missed.”

Operation Grange initially had 29 full time officers working on it, who took almost 1,500 statements and collected over 1,000 exhibits.
