A moment of silence was held at Coleraine Magistrates Court yesterday to show respect to late photographer Mark Jamieson, the Belfast Telegraph reports.

Mr Jamieson, who frequently photographed the courts in Coleraine, Ballymena and Antrim for the Belfast Telegraph and other newspapers, passed away at the age of 60 over the weekend.

Paying tribute to him, barrister Francis Rafferty said: “Mr Jamieson was a very important part of the local news machine.

“He fulfilled his duties on a daily and weekly basis and he will be sorely missed.”

Deputy District Judge Laura Ievers said the sentiments were “shared by the court”.
