Query for latest blog record for each user

I have a simple blog system by where users can leave an entry in a diary. I want to list all users along with their latest entry. It seems simple but I just can't do it. DISTINCT doesn't work because I want to get more than 1 field returned but only want the UserID to be distinct.

There is a users table, and a diary table eg.

Users
ID Name
1 Tom
2 Jane


Diary
ID UserID Entry
1 1 Test
2 2 Test2
3 2 Test3
4 1 Test4

So I want the returned records to be like:

ID UserID Entry
3 2 Test3
4 1 Test4

Ie, Each user with one latest diary entry.


Any tips would be gratefully received!
Thanks,
Kevin

Code:
SELECT A.Username, B.Entry
FROM Users As A
INNER JOIN Diary As B On (A.UserID = B.UserID)
WHERE B.ID IN
(
	SELECT MAX(ID)
	FROM Diary
	GROUP BY UserID
)
ORDER BY A.Username
