David Gilmour's wife has been sent hate mail following her son being sent to prison last month.
Charlie Gilmour was jailed for 16 months after he was caught on camera rampaging across London with fellow students in December in protest against the massive increase in UK university tuition fees.
Gilmour, 21, who was seen swinging from a flag pole on the Cenotaph war memorial and was encouragin fellow students to 'storn Parliament', admitted to the cahr of violent disorder and was orders to serve time.
Polly Samson, wife to Pink Floyd's David Gilmour tweeted: "Receiving hate mail is such a bad start to the day. Apparently for accompanying my son to court instead of having him aborted 21 years ago.
"Online (criticism) somehow is expected. It's when they go to the trouble of tracking down (my) address. At least no excrement in this one."
David Gilmour adopted Charlie when he married Samson in 1994.
