The
ongoing search for Madeleine was highlighted at many
sporting events.
A short
film recorded by Jonny Wilkinson appealing to people to
support the campaign to find the missing girl was shown at
half-time during this Saturday's Rugby World Cup warm-up
match against France at Twickenham.
Everton -
the football team supported by Madeleine and Kate McCann -
showed a video of the youngster during their season opener
against Wigan.
Many
other Premiership clubs also showed their solidarity with
Madeleine and her family.
Meanwhile, Mrs McCann's parents distributed posters,
stickers and balloons to members of the public in Church
Street, Liverpool.
In
Portugal, Kate and Gerry McCann, took their two-year-old
twins Sean and Amelie to Praia da Luz's church of Nossa
Senhora da Luz for a special service of prayers of hope.
The
readings, hymns and prayers were all chosen with children in
mind, and the couple invited other families to attend.
Hymns sung included Away In A Manger and Lord Of The Dance,
and there were prayers for Madeleine and other missing
children.
Father
Haynes Hubbard, the Canadian Anglican priest for the
Algarve, led the service.
Mr and
Mrs McCann, who are both Catholic, have spoken of how their
faith has helped them through the torment of the past 100
days.
