A huge crowd came together to mourn the four boys lost in the tragedy a week ago.
Brothers Finlay and Samuel Butler, Thomas Stewart and Jack Johnson, just six, eight, ten and 11, suffered cardiac arrests after entering icy waters.
People from around the world have paid their respects, donating tens of thousands to heartbroken family members.
Many arrived more than an hour before the Solihull vigil, near to where the tragedy happened, was officially scheduled to begin.
A mountain of floral tributes, cards, chocolates and toys have been left at the scene.
A local choir could be heard in the background as the crowd fell silent.
