Tears as Lily scoops prizes

Lily Allen broke down in tears as her song The Fear scooped major prizes at the Ivor Novello Awards.

It won both the PRS for Music most performed work award as well as best song musically and lyrically.

Wiping away tears as she reached the stage, Allen said: "Thank you, I'm trying so hard to hold it together...

"This song is so much about feeling so lost... it has made me feel quite found all of a sudden."
