Last week, Ben’s heartbroken mother Kerry admitted she’d accepted he “wouldn’t be coming home” but said she is now desperate to lay him to rest.

With Christmas approaching, Kerry appears to have stepped up her campaign to find her Ben’s body and has shared a touching video of him.

The footage is made up of a collection of family photographs and accompanied by the song Who You’d Be Today, by Kenny Chesney.

In the snaps, little Ben can be seen sleeping in bed, splashing in the bath and cuddled up to his mum.

Kerry has posted it on the Help Find Ben Needham Facebook page along with a new plea, begging those with information to get in touch.

Her message reads: “The song we put to this video is very poignant.

“Who would Ben be now?”

Adding that one of the photos was taken on the day of his disappearance, she concludes: “All we want is to lay him to rest.

Ben disappeared on 24 July 1991, just three months shy of his second birthday.

Detectives from Yorkshire Police travelled to Kos and renewed their search for Ben last September, following claims that digger driver Konstantinos Barkas - known as Dino - may have been responsible.

After excavating the site where Ben was last seen, it was confirmed officers had found 93 objects of interest, including a red toy car belonging to the tot.

Kerry was later seen collapsing in tears as she and family members visited the spot where it is feared he was killed.

Earlier this year, 26 years to the day that Ben vanished, it was confirmed human blood had been found on the toy car, along with a sandal belonging to the toddler.

As the discovery was made public, Kerry said: “This confirms everything the police have suspected.

“It shows more of a conspiracy because they didn’t find Ben’s body.

“That proves it to me without doubt they ­obviously moved him and buried him and for ­whatever reason dug him up. There’s no other ­explanation.

“It’s all been a massive cover-up.”
