Nearly two billion people across the globe tuned in to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot back in simpler times, two years ago.
Alongside the celebrity guests, designer dress and pomp and ceremony, viewers were also bowled over by the performance of one young cellist from Nottingham, Sheku Kanneh-Mason.
Wearing Paul Smith socks and an expression as calm as you like, the 20-year-old immediately exploded onto the international stage, going on to earn an MBE, a No.1 album, two Classic Brit Awards and the affectionate nickname 'Cello Bae'.
Today (January 10), the former Trinity School student, performed for a somewhat more intimate audience, just a couple of hundred, in fact, as he returned to his hometown for the launch of his second album, Elgar.
"Life has been really busy and really great," said Sheku, following a 15-minute performance at the Royal Concert Hall to mark the release of the record.
Living mainly in London while he finishes his third year at the Royal Academy of Music, the Mapperley musician, remains unfazed by the attention sprung on him following his royal performance.
He said: "I've always really, really loved performing and that was another nice opportunity to perform. I love playing for lots of people and that was why I enjoyed it so much.
"I guess it hasn't changed my overall focus, which is to develop as a musician and to learn as much music and discover as much music as I can. Doing [the royal wedding] has given me the opportunity to perform more, which helps with that overall."
Despite the surge in interest, Sheku, who had his first taste of fame performing with his family on Britain's Got Talent back in 2015 and went on to become the first black artist to win BBC Young Musician of the Year, just 12 months later, insists he's kept his feet on the ground.
He said: "I play football. I love football. Music is about real life, so if you didn't have a real life it wouldn't make sense."
Sheku: Elgar, is out now on iTunes and Amazon.
