September 11th - 6th Anniversary

Today marks the sixth anniversary of the terrible event sof 11th Septemeber 2001, when thousands of inoocent people had their lives brought to an unfair and early end by terrorists in New York. The events of that day are etched on my mind, as they are on the minds of people around the world. I found it a very traumatic day and details that have come out about individual people’s experiences of that day even more traumatic. I will be sparing a thought for the victims of this event at the appropriate time on Tuesday.

The McCann family, came home to their home town of Rothley, Leicestershire, today. It was an emotional moment to see them arrive here more than four months after their daughter Madeleine disappeared on 3rd May in Portugal. Gerry McCann made an emotional statement that finished with the words: “We played no part in the disappearance of our lovely daughter Madeleine”. I believe him, and hope that this can be cleared up very soon.
