DAILY EXPRESS front page: MADELEINE: Mum’s secret prayer: ‘Today could be the day she comes home’ (Plus pages 6 and 7, with logo: THE HUNT FOR MADELEINE: Day 123).

THE WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER brings the news that the McCanns’ “struggle to keep their spirits up by constantly reassuring each other: ‘Today could be the day Madeleine comes home.’”

The so-called “secret prayer” was revealed in the course of a long statement by Kate McCann, presumably in the course of a not-very-secret press conference.

The paper reports that the McCanns have been “persuaded to move back to their £600,000 home”.
