As Peter Robinson polishes his debut speech as party leader at Saturday's annual DUP conference, there's one member of the audience he doesn't have to worry about. His predecessor, Dr Ian Paisley, a famously formidable speaker, will not be there.

While the former leader will be there on Friday evening for the conference dinner, the doc has chosen church over party on Saturday. I'm told he's for Liverpool on church business.

I'm delighted however to say I will be along to Armagh - as will my colleagues including Mark Devenport and Gareth Gordon.

PS Thanks to all for your good wishes with my blogsitting - hello RJ.
