Was this David Cameron’s last ever Prime Minister’s Questions?
There is no PMQs next week as MPs will be knocking on doors in their consistencies urging voters to stay in or leave the European Union.
And, of course, the outcome of that vote could determine whether or not Mr Cameron stands outside Downing Street in the wee hours of next Friday morning, appearing live on air to millions of television viewers, to announce his resignation.
So it had been expected that this week's joust between Mr Cameron and his political opponents, whether those on the opposition benches or sitting directly behind him, would have the feel of a momentous occasion.
There was a similar PMQs held just weeks before last year’s General Election.
With all the opinion polls suggesting that no party would win an overall majority it looked, briefly, as if it was touch and go for the Conservative leader.
What followed was a rather sweet family moment.
Two of Mr Cameron's children came, with their mum, to watch him from the public gallery.
They clapped and cheered on their dad as he hit back at opposition MPs, and seemed to especially like it when the Prime Minister gave a bit of cheek.
But there were no mini-Camerons watching today.
Too obvious, perhaps, for a Prime Minister trying to give off an air of ‘don't panic. Nothing to worry about here..."
The spectacle in the chamber was also fairly ...subdued.
The UK could be leaving the EU. The Tories are in turmoil.
So, of course, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn delayed mentioning the EU vote.
When he finally did address it directly it was so unexpected that it drew a loud cheer from the SNP group.
It was interesting to watch the faces of Labour MPs sitting behind Mr Corbyn, many of whom who would dearly love to get rid of him.
“Don't panic. Nothing to worry about here...”
But , for once, there was a notable amount of cross-party support, first for Mr Cameron's tributes to those killed in Orlando this week and then for his position of staying in the EU.
That was, until the Tory leader started listing the institutions that the UK could be forced to leave as a result of a Brexit.
He warned: "Out of the EU, out of the single market.."
Quick as a flash, Angus Robertson, the SNP's Westminster leader sitting opposite and to the right of Mr Cameron, added: "Out of No 10..."
