| Description | The Mail on Sunday has apologised unreservedly to Ed Miliband after one of its reporters intruded on a private memorial service for a relative of the Labour leader.
The apology from the newspaper's editor, Geordie Greig, came after Miliband wrote to the proprietor, Lord Rothermere, asking whether the common line of decency had been breached by the reporter gatecrashing the service for his uncle on Wednesday.
The apology was issued after apparently confusing signals from Greig. It is understood that Greig indicated to the Labour party on Wednesday night that he was prepared to issue an apology. But in a conversation with Miliband on Thursday morning an apology was not forthcoming.
There was speculation that Greig may have changed his stance under pressure from Paul Dacre, the editor-in-chief of the Mail titles. The Labour leader published his letter to Rothermere at around 11.45am on Thursday, prompting the apology.
