Awesome pictures!
Thanks for sharing.
One small request. Please pick a nice group picture of the Libera boys and put name labels on them.
So, many new boys! Make sure you enlarge the picture so we can clearly see all the faces. I tried to make your pictures bigger and it did not work on my computer (the size appears to be fixed).
I am looking forward to your concert reviews.
If only Libera recorded some of the live concert and put it on Youtube, that would be great.
I would buy a DVD of the concert if they would sell it.

Heck, I'd easily pay £15 for just a nicely edited audio download. Libera is leaving money on the table.

Patrick is our expert name photo maker, but he's traveling. I'm sure he'll make a nice one when he gets home and catches up. In the meantime, here's my humble attempt. I know the faces aren't very clear, but it was the best I could find with room for names. You will have to download it to see it in full-size.

Long time Libera superfan Yuki (YukiBol - @DearLibera) posted on Twitter/X, or whatever it’s calling itself these days, that she attended Libera’s final concert on their Japanese tour last night, and that just as she was stunned by Freddie’s Ave Verum last Christmas, she was again stunned by his performance last night.
What, where, why, when, how???
He’s 15 on his next birthday, how’s he managing it?

He just turned 14 this month. IDK, maybe he'll become the British version of Austria's Alois Mühlbacher!

Thanks for all the photos and updates thus far. It can be a bit overwhelming given the disjointed nature of the Twitter/X feed nowadays to keep track of things, and it doesn't help that I've been too busy with work and so on to sit down for an extended period to catch up with everything in detail. So I appreciate when stuff is posted here in one place where it can be read in a linear fashion.

Thank you for doing the labels. I see a few repeat names: Oskar, Thomas, Lewis.
How exactly do I download it?

I thought so too until very recently, but I think the information (from Libera Boys Database?!) was incorrect:
► Show Spoiler
He started secondary school in the 2020-21 academic year, same year as Daniel W (aged 11-12). The academic year in the UK goes from 1 September to 31 August.
That means he’s now into his 4th year of secondary school (a.k.a Year 10, ages 14-15).
So like Dan, Freddie would’ve already been 14 before the school year started.

I think it's all correct. Daniel has a December birthday. Parents of kids who have October-December birthdays often delay the first year of school to turn an age/maturity disadvantage into an advantage. This may be the case with Daniel. As a result, Freddie is 10 months younger but they're in the same grade.

The jumping ahead is what happens for what are called “rising 5’sâ€. It happens when a child starts infant school in the Autumn term because they’ll be turning 5 between 1 September and 31 December. I was a rising 5 too, with a December birthday.
For secondary school kids start aged 11 and will turn 12 during that academic year. A kid born 1 September one year and a kid born 31 August the following year, would still be in the same school Year (what you call grade).
Ergo:
First Year of secondary school (Compulsory schooling Year 7) - Aged 11 turning 12 (e.g Hal, Pietro)
2nd Year (Year
- Aged 12 turning 13 (e.g Nathan, Morgan, Tom M)
3rd Year (Year 9) - Aged 13 turning 14 (e.g Laurence D, Lewis Q, Cameron)
4th Year (Year 10) - Aged 14 turning 15 (e.g Dan W, Freddie M)
5th Year (Year 11) - Aged 15 turning 16 (e.g Victor, Laurence T)
After schooling year 11 in the UK, compulsory school ends. Sixth Form is a choice for further education (A Levels, GCSE resits, other equivalent courses).
