Press Packer Jayne loves antiques and she was lucky enough to go along to the filming of the Antiques Roadshow - a TV programme all about old toys, furniture, pottery and paintings.
Here she tells us about taking part in the filming and finding out about her own family treasures!
"I went to a children's version of the Antiques Roadshow. It was called Antiques Roadshow - The Next Generation.
My antiques
I had a great time looking at the items that other people had brought, as well as having my own family treasures valued.
I took along some old paper weights depicting Edinburgh and a china egg holder in the form of a hen.
I learnt a lot about the items that I took along and I found out lots about other people's items too!
One of the most exciting items I saw was a Scalextric set!
On TV!
There was a competition at the roadshow - all the children were asked to take along a picture that they had created at home.
Rupert Maas, the Antiques Roadshow art specialist, judged the pictures and my pastel drawing of some flowers was put through to the final!
About ten of us were filmed with our pictures - it was really interesting watching the TV crew work and looking at the camera equipment.
After several takes, the director said that the filming was done.
I was given a small teddy bear as a prize to take home with me!
Great day
I enjoy seeing antiques at fairs and browsing the windows of antique shops so it was brilliant to go along to the Antiques Roadshow.
And it was exciting taking part in the filming too!"
