April Jones's family to mark first anniversary
The family of murdered schoolgirl April Jones were today set to mark the one year anniversary of her abduction and murder by lighting sky lanterns outside their home.
Relatives of April unveiled their plans in an announcement on Facebook and people have been invited to join them on a green on the estate in Machynlleth where April lived with her family at 6pm. April was snatched as she played outside her house on the Bryn y Gog estate in Machynlleth.
She was murdered by Mark Bridger, 47, from Ceinws, near Machynlleth, who was given a whole life sentence following a trial earlier this year.
Meanwhile, a book about the town's response to the incident has also been launched today, with the blessing of April's parents Coral and Paul Jones.
Pink Ribbons for April is published by Y Lolfa at £9.95 and is available from www.ylolfa.com. Proceeds will be given to the April Jones Fund.
