More than 700 people walked slowly through the Welsh town of Machynlleth, and hundreds gathered at the Bryn-y-Gog estate from where April was abducted on Monday evening.
The procession moved in silence through the town yesterday, many of the walkers wearing pink ribbons symbolising their faith that she is still alive. The sombre gathering made its way slowly to the service at St Peter's Church in the mid-Wales market town.
