Anyone wanting to see a 16 year old King... 14 Years, 9 Months ago  
Here's the 1961 Charterhouse school photo; see if you can spot me, Max Hastings, Nicky Henson, Jonathan Dimbleby... but a warning; it needs to be enlarged to the maximum size which may take a few seconds!

good grief I've never seen a school photo with the entire school !

was it a hot bed of sin and vice ?..all those underaged lads ?

my father sent my 2 older brothers to a Lancing but pronounced they came out as stupid as they were when they went in so he wasn't wasting any more money.. I had to do with a government school..I think I had far more fun though.

The pic still downloading...

I've met loads of ex-Lancing lads for some reason including my best friend who sadly died in a car accident a few years ago.

Kit Lambert who managed The Who..he says he hated every moment of it but I think he was probably one of those lonely kids.

Yes Kit and I discussed it many times; also there, one of my kind Character Witnesses in the Old Bailey, Tim Rice.

I think it's either second or third row from the top, a third of the way across right to left (looking at it).

Think GEEK.

Max is trying to hide from the camera.

there are a lot of geeks there

but I think I finally cracked it but others can find for themselves. Would've helped if you had worn one of those fright wigs.

Actually it's quite interesting studying the faces and not one has eyes closed. There is one in the front row with his eyes rolling back..perhaps he was dead and being propped up.

1961,a great time to be maturing,those wonderful 60s experiences,and you lot in the right time and place to take advantage.
Be nice to know what happened to the rest of them,eg the less famous.Stuff the used to make documentaries about when TV was in its hayday.

I remember having a school photo taken like this using an old fashioned camera on a clockwork pedistal that would slowly capture the photo in a 180 degree sweeping motion. I've heard of pupils at the end of the line managing to appear twice in the picture as they made a dash to the other end before the camera finished the circuit.

What strikes me about that photo is that anyone of those lads could be a young David Cameron. It may have something to do with the barnet.

I had the opportunity of a public school education (I was up for a bursery type thing at age 11 due to my educational achievements) but my ******* father put paid to that, saying that he wanted me in the state system and that was the end of it.

Never forgave him for that.

How many of the 'bright young things' around you JK have you kept in touch with? More interestingly was there maybe just one who conspired later to bring about your woes....i wont say downfall, because you arent fallen.

You've had a very interesting life journey sir.

And I know that's how you see it and that's what has kept you on top.

Brilliant!

I don't think even the police and CPS would dare go back in time 50 years to that era - and especially not to boarding schools, which were attended by most masturbating judges, FC, so no, none of my false accusers were Carthusians!

I had a brilliant time there - all will be revealed in the autobiography, hopefully due this Christmas!
