• Madeleine turns four. Residents in Rothley were considering baking a cake and holding a party to mark the milestone – but relatives say they would only want the celebration to take place when she returns and the birthday is postponed.
• Her parents mark the day by calling for people to redouble their efforts to find her.
• A group of business figures, celebrities and a national newspaper offer a reward of £1.5 million for information leading to Madeleine’s safe return. Entrepreneurs including Sir Richard Branson and Sir Philip Green are among those who join together to offer the huge sum, bringing the total amount of money now being offered in the search to more than £2.5 million.
• Chancellor Gordon Brown expresses his sympathy for Madeleine’s parents and says his thoughts are with them.
