Soldier apologises to Allen for racist tweet
Lily Allen has received an apology from the British soldier who sent her a racially abusive message on twitter.
The 'Not Fair' singer reported 20-year-old Harry Wilson to his army bosses after he tweeted her a message reading "just seen you bought s*** I meant adopted a child from Africa (sic)."
Lily - who is believed to be expecting her second child with husband Sam Cooper - was then subjected to a barrage of abuse for reporting the serviceman, but she now wants a line drawn under the row after Harry sent her a heartfelt apology.
I have just received some flowers and a hand written apology from Harry Wilson, which I accept. I hope we can all now move on. Thank you.

It seems Harry's apology arrived at the right time after Lily threatened to take a break from twitter earlier today because of the abusive messages she had received from 'trolls'.
She wrote: "OK I'm leaving twitter for a few days, hmmmm maybe hours, we'll see. The stupidity of some people on here is astounding."
Harry had claimed his comments were intended as a joke and "harmless fun" before his twitter account was removed.
