A memorial service will be held later this year to remember the 11 men who were killed in the Shoreham air disaster.

Relatives of those who lost their lives have been invited to the service at Lancing College in West Sussex on Sunday, November 22.

Hundreds of firefighters, police officers, paramedics and volunteers will also attend the memorial at the college's gothic chapel overlooking the crash site.

The event is being organised by emergency service members and local community leaders, including Shoreham MP Tim Loughton.

He said: "This appalling tragedy has shattered the lives of all those who lost a loved one but it has also seen the whole community unite to shield and support those grieving families in these dark days.

"We hope that a memorial service will further serve to support the families as they struggle to come to terms with such terrible loss.

"We also hope it will support those who were first on the scene, many of whom must be struggling with the burden of what they saw that day."

The crash happened when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet failed to pull out of a loop-the-loop stunt during the Shoreham Airshow on August 22 and plummeted on to the A27.

An interim report by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) found "no abnormal indications" during the flight.

Investigators also said cockpit cameras showed the 1950s jet "appeared to be responding to the pilot's control inputs".

The victims who died were: wedding chauffeur Maurice Abrahams, 76, from Brighton; retired engineer James Graham Mallinson, 72, from Newick, near Lewes; window cleaner and general builder Mark Trussler, 54, from Worthing; cycling friends Dylan Archer, 42, from Brighton, and Richard Smith, 26, from Hove; NHS manager Tony Brightwell, 53, from Hove; grandfather Mark Reeves, 53, from Seaford; Worthing United footballers Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt, both 23; personal trainer Matt Jones, 24; and Daniele Polito, 23, from Worthing.

The inquest into their deaths was opened and adjourned this month by West Sussex senior coroner Penelope Schofield. A pre-inquest review will take place on March 22.
