Daniel Anjorin's family say he was "well loved" and "hard working"

Photographs of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin are featured on many of the front pages after a man was charged with his murder in north-east London on Tuesday.

A quote from his family on The Daily Express front page, external describes the schoolboy as a "wonderful child". In the Daily Mail, he's called a "true scholar". The Daily Mirror headline, external also reflects the thoughts of his family and friends. It reads "Our hearts are broken".

The Times reports, external on the discord between some performers and one of Britain's leading orchestras over the use of mobile phones by members of the audience to film concerts.

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra says it will continue to encourage people to film on their phones despite high-profile tenor Ian Bostridge, stopping mid-performance last month to berate those doing so.

The orchestra's chief executive, Emma Stenning, tells the paper that "innovation is the key" and you can't expect to attract younger audiences to classical music under "the old rules". The paper's headline asks: "Will embracing phones in stalls put orchestra's players in pit of despair?".

Finally, the latest problems to beset the Co-Op Live arena in Manchester are reported in the Daily Mail, external. It postponed its opening last night for the third time - while people were already queueing outside. The Mail's headline-writer comes up with a new name for the troubled venue - the Co-Flop Arena.
