We’re now hearing more about an annual vigil held in Madeleine’s memory in the McCanns’ home village, Rothley.
The court has previously heard how Julia Wandelt attended the vigil and approached the village priest and Kate McCann’s aunt, who she gave a letter to.
McCann, who wasn’t at the vigil as she’d been away, said she became aware of Wandelt’s attendance from friends and other family members.
When she found out this information, she said she was “totally relieved that I wasn’t there”.
“It’s quite a hard experience having the gathering anyway. I felt I would have ended up really upset,” she said.
“It would have taken away from the reason we were there.”
A letter from Wandelt to McCann is then read to the court, which says: “I presume I must be your missing daughter.”
