Both have endured unimaginable heartache as the fate of their daughters remains a mystery.
And for the first time yesterday, Kate McCann, mother of Madeleine, and the father of Claudia Lawrence met at a vigil for the missing chef.
On what would have been Miss Lawrence’s 37th birthday, her father Peter sat with Mrs McCann as 50 friends and family gathered at York Minster, along with Archbishop John Sentamu, to pray for the safe return of their children.

Dressed in a black skirt and coat and red scarf, 42-year-old Mrs McCann lit a candle for Madeleine, who vanished aged three in 2007, and spoke of drawing support from meeting someone who knows the pain her family feel.
‘It is nice to spend time with people who are in the same position,’ she said. ‘The circumstances are very different, but we share the same pain and fear and hope.
'Our daughters are different ages and the circumstances are very different but we share the same pain and fear and hope.

'Today is actually the first time I have met Peter, I have been in touch with his wife. It is nice to be able to support each other because it is one of those things that, unless you have been in that situation it is very difficult to understand.
'The Archbishop John Sentamu has also been very supportive. He has never forgotten us.'
Miss Lawrence has been missing since March 2009.
Her 64-year-old father said: ‘Today is difficult, just like Christmas, but we have to make the fact that Claudia is missing apparent.’

Mr Lawrence, 64, and Mrs McCann, 42, met in the centre of York this afternoon before slowly making their way to the grandiose York Minster. Sadly neither Joan Lawrence or Gerry McCann could make the vigil.
They marched along with family and friends, holding a loft a placard with Claudia's picture on and the question 'Where are you?'
Prior to the vigil, Mr Lawrence said: 'Everything we have done for the past couple of years has been aimed at keeping the fact that Claudia is missing at the front of people's minds. Everything we can do we are trying.
'Today is obviously a special day because it is Claudia's birthday. It is not just for Claudia, we have organised it for other missing people too. Today is difficult, just like Christmas was but on every occasion we have to make the fact that Claudia is missing apparent.
'Kate got in touch when she heard that we were having this event and she said that she wanted to come along. It is nice to raise awareness for both of our daughters and for the families to come together.'

Vigil: Peter Lawrence, father of missing chef Claudia Lawrence, and Madeleine McCann's mother Kate met with Dr John Sentamu for a service at York Minster
Mr Lawrence also confirmed that he intends to address a number of MPs at parliament later this week in relation to the control families have over missing people's financial affairs.
Claudia Lawrence's best friend, Suzy Cooper, also attended the vigil and prior to it said: 'It has been really difficult with today being her birthday and Claudia particularly enjoyed going out on Sundays so she would have been really pleased her birthday was on one today.

Vigil: Kate McCann prayed for missing York chef Claudia Lawrence
'We haven't made any specific plans for her birthday but I think we will have a drink, a meal and a toast to Claudia.'
The group then made their way to York Minster where they were met by Archbishop of York Sentamu and Dean of York Keith Jones.
After the group had made their way inside the stunning building, Archbishop Sentamu addressed the congregation of 50 people, saying: 'We are having a vigil on the 37th birthday of Claudia Lawrence.
'We must keep ourselves remembering that she is still missing. Someone out there knows where she is and in my prayers I hope they will have the courage to come forward.
'It is great that we also have Kate McCann here, Maddie McCann's mother. As you know in this minster, I pray for both her and for Claudia regularly.'
Mrs McCann and Mr Lawrence were then presented with a blue candle each, as a symbol of the Virgin Mary and the joy and pain of motherhood, before a number of prayers were said for Maddie, Ms Lawrence and other missing people.
The parents of Ms Lawrence and Maddie then sat side by side, along with Archbishop Sentamu, with the Minster's great window in the background, and quietly said prayers for their missing daughters.

Uffercoffy, good evening and thanks for your post. Forgive me but I choose to ignore all it says as imo it is just another team McCann bandwagon jump.
What I will mention though, a far meaningful few words than this spin is what you have on the bottom of every post you make. For that thankyou.

"Kate McCann prayed for missing York chef Claudia Lawrence".
What's the big deal? If she has prayed for Madeleine's abductors why wouldn't she pray for Claudia?

And it works ? Even the Pope prayed, and lo and behold ....

In the police, cynical and obviously useless and pathetic and hopeless and corrupt as we clearly were, and using dogs with no sense of smell and so on and on ...
When a suspect said anything like 'I swear on my baby's life', or 'As God is my judge', we knew, immediately, totally, irrevocably and finally that they were guilty.
The innocent never pray, or scream, or shout or throw things, or get upset, or even particularly annoyed. They know that one day the truth will be revealed.
And never forget that the prisons are full of people who pleaded "Not guilty".

And by the way, York Minster is part of the Church of England. Its rites are not of the Roman persuasion.
Another example of KM's infinite flexibility.

Reading this thread brought to mind a quote of Lord Longford's from yesteryear. ''My view, as an experienced prison visitor, is that Myra Hindley is a good Christian woman. Making a determined effort to make amends for her past, and to do good in the future.''
