Friends and family rallied around 19 And Counting stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar yesterday as the couple mourned the loss of the stillborn daughter.

Hundreds gathered for the ceremony in Springdale, Arkansas, held in honour of little Jubilee Shalom.

The reality stars discovered that their 20th child no longer had a heartbeat during a doctors appointment on December 8.

After the memorial, a family member shared a heartbreaking picture on Twitter in her memory – before the online post was later deleted.

The photograph shows Michelle reaching out to touch daughter Jubilee’s tiny hand, with the juxtaposition of size deeply moving.

While Michelle obviously displays a fully grown adult hand, Jubilee’s is incredibly tiny, with her palm half the size of her mother’s finger tip.

Amy Duggar, a cousin who frequently appears on their hit TLC reality show tweeted the picture, saying: ‘RIP precious Jubilee Shalom Duggar! Can’t wait to meet you someday, thank you Lord for giving our family peace.’

POPE Benedict XVI says he is deeply ashamed of the “unspeakable” sexual abuse of children by priests.

The Pope today told the British faithful during Mass in Westminster Cathedral that he hoped the church’s humiliation would help victims heal.

He also said he hoped that the church would be able to use its contrition to purify itself from the “sins” of its ministers and be able to renew its commitment to educating the young.

The Pope confronted the abuse scandal head-on during his homily, a day after six people were arrested in an alleged terrorist plot against him.

POLICE are confident they know who is responsible for the disappearance of Kiesha Abrahams and it is only a matter of time before the suspect is arrested.

Five weeks since the six-year-old was reported missing from her home in Mt Druitt, NSW, an exhaustive investigation appears to be close to a result.

Police sources yesterday said they were closing in on the person suspected of murdering the schoolgirl. It is understood police have had to take their time in order to gather supportive evidence.

But a spokesman for Strike Force Jarocin, set up to investigate Kiesha’s disappearance, would not comment yesterday on an imminent arrest.

The news of an impending arrest came as the child’s mother, Kristi Abrahams, and stepfather, Robert Smith, made an application to Housing NSW to be relocated from the priority accommodation they were given days after their child was reported missing on August 1.

I remember all this happening when I was a child – I never thought Lindy did it. I blame the dingo. I have Lindy’s book somewhere here too

IT will go down as Australia’s greatest mystery. The death of Azaria Chamberlain, 30 years ago, remains unsolved. The police file is still officially open.

The third and final inquest in 1995 recorded the cause and manner of Azaria’s death as “unknown”. Two previous inquiries raised the possibility of death by dingo, followed by human intervention.

More questions. Like so much else about the case, the answers depends on what you want to believe.

Lindy Chamberlain’s conviction for murder was overturned, as was Michael’s for being an accessory. She didn’t do it. It is accepted that a dingo did.

But how did the dingo rip Azaria from a bassinet in her family’s tent and drag her over the sand, then remove her body from her buttoned jumpsuit and turn the singlet, which was inside the jumpsuit, inside out?

And then leave the baby’s matinee jacket, which was found six years later 153m away, without opening the top button?
