Sealing around shower tray

Shouldn't the tray have been sealed where it meets the wall before tiling, then tiled down to the top of the tray, with a line of grout at the bottom and then siliconed again where the tiles meet the tray? That's how I understood it should be done, the water then needs to get through the outer line of silicone, the grout and the silicone where the tray meets the wall.

It can be, although in my experience it's more common for the tiles to go just short of the tray, and the silicon applied simply as you would with a bath.

That's how the shower in our new place is, too; we've not had any problems. I wouldn't have thought silicone to grout was a great idea, but I've never done it.
