(BBC) The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have returned to the UK saying they are "heart-broken" to have left Portugal without their four-year-old daughter. At East Midlands Airport, an emotional Gerry McCann said they had returned for the sake of their twins and he appealed for their privacy to be respected. He said he and his wife, Kate, both 39, had played no part in the disappearance of their "lovely daughter" on 3 May.
The couple, who are formal suspects, have arrived home in Rothley, Leics.
They were greeted with a heavy police presence and a large crowd of reporters and cameras.
During their absence, letters, cards and presents for Madeleine have been posted through their front door.
Kate McCann's uncle Brian Kennedy, who had been waiting for the family to arrive, told reporters they had a "mixture of feelings" about being at home.
