The parents of Madeleine McCann have said that they will continue to "pray for missing daughter" on a day that marks her 19th birthday (May 12).
Parents, Kate and Gerry, still have no definite answers as to what happened to their little girl 15 years on.
The near two decade long search marked 15 years since she vanished from her bed in a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal when she was just three-years-old on May 3 2007.
According to BirminghamLive, a source close to the family said: “Another birthday comes and still Kate and Gerry have no idea what happened to their daughter, and if she dead or alive and still out there waiting to be found.

“It is a difficult time for them but they will remember Madeleine with a quiet celebration behind closed doors. There will be gifts, prayers, cake, fond memories and above all hope."
They continued: "This year we mark fifteen years since we last saw Madeleine. It feels no harder than any other but no easier either. It’s a very long time."
Kate read a poem, saying: “Survival can be summed up three words. Never give up. That’s the heart of it really, just keep trying. Sometimes you have to get knocked down, Lower than you have ever been.
“To stand up taller than you ever were. Perseverance is stubbornness.”
