The twin siblings of Madeleine McCann, Sean and Amelie, celebrated their 13th birthday recently
Nearly 11 years have passed since the tragic disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
In that time, we have come no closer to finding out what happened to her since the night she went missing from the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, where she was staying with her family.
Her twin siblings, Amelie and Sean, were staying in the same room as her - and have been left distraught by the loss of their sister.
They're due to celebrate their 13th birthdays tomorrow, and recently had a party with family and friends.
However, while the party was all fun and games to celebrate their birthday, a family friend revealed to The Sun that the celebrations were "marred with a tinge of sadness" as Maddie would not be there to "join in the fun."
