What proof of negative test do I need before travelling to Belgium from UK? - Black exhausted traveler resting on  ground

I'm travelling to Belgium next week from the UK on the Eurostar. According to the current guidelines, I need to have a negative RAT (lateral flow test) on the day of travel, but where is this checked, and what proof do I need?

Is the text/email (example below) from the NHS enough, or do I need the physical test, or something else?

The rest of the testing requirements are clear enough as PCR tests are done at Belgian test centres.

While this answer was likely right when posted it may well be out of date now.

According to the official FAQ, you should provide a test certificate. If the certificate is attached to the e-mail (e.g., a PDF-file), it should be fine. Usually, this is checked at the departure airport (e.g., at the airport counter check-in) and they might also check the certificate upon arrival.
