Lily Cole receives replacement bicycle

Lily Cole has received a present of a bicycle to replace her stolen one.

The model-turned-actress, whose Pashley Princess Sovereign bike was stolen from Cambridge University last month, was sent a replacement by the manufacturers after they heard about the theft.

Pashley Princess boss Adrian Williams is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "I thought it was rotten to think of Lily losing her Princess, and I didn't want it to spoil her holidays. Plus, Lily looks so gorgeous on the Princess I couldn't bear her being without one."

At the time of the robbery, Cole said: "They took the basket off and left it on the ground. I think that was the most hurtful part of the ordeal! I bought the bike because it had a nice basket, and they just left it there."
