Most of Wednesday's front pages carry a photograph of a Moroccan woman carrying a young blonde girl resembling missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann.

The Daily Telegraph calls it a dramatic twist in the search for the child.

The Daily Express says the photo, taken by a Spanish tourist in Morocco on 31 August, could prove Madeleine, missing since 3 May, is still alive.

The Daily Mirror describes the story as astonishing, while the Sun asks "Is this Maddie?" on its front page.
