Big moment tonight - Jamie officially opened his new curtain.
Made by Granny White and put up by Grandad Mike (because Daddy isn't very good at these things and even Mummy agrees), the ceremony went well.
All the guests turned up on time - Grandad Mike, Grandma Judy, Mummy and Daddy - and the weather held.
It's true to say that some in the audience were a little concerned the whole occasion might prove a little too much for Jamie, given its enormity.
But, in the end, he held his nerve and resisted the temptation to shed tears. Definitely the Ulsterman in him.
And he'll have to get used to such formalities; the name plate for his door is due to arrive in a couple of days and he'll have to go through the whole thing again with an entirely new congregation (other than Mummy and Daddy who've already invited themselves).
Still, surely anything Prince Edward can do, absolutely anyone else can do too. Anyone at all.
