It felt like we saw a more subdued Boris Johnson in this final afternoon of questioning. That, perhaps, is to be expected after ten hours on the witness stand.
This morning though the former PM was clearly angry at the approach taken by the lead counsel, Hugo Keith KC.
At one point, diary entries written by his former chief scientific adviser were read out in quick succession.
Sir Patrick Vallace, in his private notes, said Johnson had at times wanted to "let the virus rip" and was "obsessed with older people accepting their fate".
"Rubbish" - interupted Johnson - who accused Mr Keith of "culling accounts" from other people's "jotting in meetings".
He then appeared to fight back tears when he brought up his own time in intensive care with Covid.
Earlier Johnson provided a robust defence of his decision not to impose a circuit-breaker lockdown in September 2020.
He was worried the country would end up being bounced into more mini lockdowns with no end in sight.
Instead he was "full of hope" that the tier system of regional restrictions would "save us". Covid cases kept rising though and he realised he was "running out of road".
On 31 October 2020 Johnson ordered a second national lockdown in England, although he did not accept that decision was made "too late".
