Police Appeal For Holiday Snaps

British police have appealed for holiday snaps to help identify the person who abducted Madeleine McCann.They want anyone who took pictures in the Portuguese resort where the four-year-old went missing to send in their digital photographs.A special website been launched to receive the anticipated deluge of images.In Praia da Luz, Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, observed an unofficial minute's silence at midday.The silence was organised by an anonymous viral email.Tourist Catherine Morrison, 59, of County Cork, was among those to fall silent in a Praia da Luz supermarket."It was a brilliant idea to show respect for the family and friends and relatives," she said.Madeleine's father is in the UK for his first visit home since his daughter was abducted 18 days ago.Gerry McCann is using the trip to meet organisers of the Find Madeleine fund and attend to personal matters - in preparation for an expected prolonged stay in Portugal.Brian Kennedy, Madeleine's uncle, told Sky News the visit would be a "short one".Mr McCann will also use the opportunity to pick up new pictures and videos to help with the international search campaign.He is expected to visit the main square in his home village of Rothley, Leicestershire, where thousands of well-wishers have tied yellow ribbons.It is the first time he has been apart from wife Kate and two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie since Madeleine was taken from their Algarve holiday apartment.The McCanns have said they are convinced their daughter is still alive and have vowed to stay in the Algarve for the foreseeable future, co-ordinating an international campaign to get her back.They are believed to be considering a round-Europe mission to spread awareness of Madeleine's abduction in the hope that she will be found.
