Nearly seven years after Maddie disappeared, her parents say they have pictures of her all over their house so that they will remember her

Almost seven years after Madeleine McCann vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Portugal, her parents have spoken about how their other two children provide them with strength.

Kate and Gerry McCann say that they have photographs of Maddie all over their house and keep their children, twins Sean and Amelie, who were two at the time, up to date with the progress of the police investigation.

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly this morning on ITV, the couple also spoke about how life for them is defined before Madeleine disappeared and after.

Saturday marks the seventh anniversary since Maddie vanished from the flat in Praia da Luz a few days before her fourth birthday.

Lorraine asked where they get their strength and Gerry responded: "I get mine from Kate obviously."

Kate added: "I think from each other, from our children, from our family and friends."

Gerry said: "We have had unbelievable support, not just from those who are close to us, but the public support has been amazing."

He continued: "Our life is defined pre and post the abduction unfortunately. Leading up to Portugal, having had three very young children and a tough two or three years, full on and working etc, we were just coming through that. Life seemed good - really good. It's different now, because Sean and Amelie are really good kids, really happy and they bring tremendous amounts of joy so it's very much we were a family of five and now we are functioning as a family of four."

Kate added: "It's seven years down the line and we have adapted, but still weeks and months rolling by is still incredibly significant for us.

"Whether Madeleine had been found after a week, after six months, whether it's seven years and one week - that's better than 10 years or whatever, so it's really significant."

When asked if they will ever give up, Kate responded: "If we haven't found Madeleine, or we haven't found what's happened, then we haven't done enough. There's still work to be done."

Earlier, Kate backed a revamped alert system triggered when missing children are kidnapped or their lives are at risk.

She urged members of the public to sign up for Child Rescue Alerts, which will be overhauled later this month.

She said: "When a child is abducted, families are devastated and entire communities are torn apart. The agony of not knowing where your child is is almost impossible to imagine. The helplessness is at times overwhelming."

"But there is now something we can all do to help. Please sign up to receive alerts - you could save a child's life."

The mother also spoke of how she would prefer to know the truth about what happened to her daughter, even if it is "the worst case scenario".

She added: "But there is always the worst case scenario. That's always been a possibility and anyone who thinks that we're blinkered doesn't know us."

The new system will allow alerts to be issued via text, email, social media, digital billboards and to the media.

Members of the public can already sign up to receive alerts, although the new system will come into play on International Missing Children's Day on May 25.

A Child Rescue Alert was recently used in the hunt for murdered five-year-old April Jones, and the system is designed to make the most of the "golden hours" when a child goes missing.

Charlie Hedges from the National Crime Agency, who helped co-ordinate the appeals, said: "The success of Child Rescue Alert is down to each and every one of us. Now it's down to the public to sign up for the alerts so we can send the message as widely as possible when a child goes missing."

Jo Youle, chief executive of the charity Missing People, said "Every minute after their disappearance is crucial to bringing a child home safely. Child Rescue Alert will now mean the public and companies can help - and hopefully save these children's lives."
