The pictures, posted on the Find April Jones Facebook page, show her at the beach on a sunny day, playing by the sea and in a garden at her home in Mid Wales.

And Hollywood star Catherine Zeta Jones has donated a pair of shoes worn at a film premiere to raise funds to help in the search for the missing five-year-old.

The Welsh actress has donated the shoes in a bid to raise money for April's Fund set up after she was taken from outside her home in Machynlleth, Powys, more than seven weeks ago.

The shoes, signed by the star, who is from Swansea, will be auctioned off in the town later this month.

April was last seen at about 7pm on October 1 when she was playing out with friends. A massive manhunt was carried out, with searchers combing fields, forests and the River Dyfi.

Meanwhile, Councillor Michael Williams said the town had decided to hold its usual Christmas celebrations despite the 'harrowing' past two months. A celebration would be held at Y Plas on December 1.
