Helicopter pictures show the scale of tributes left on Shoreham's 'bridge of flowers' for the 11 victims of the airshow disaster.

Thousands of flowers, messages and candles have been placed on the tollbridge close to the crash scene where the Hawker Hunter jet came down on August 22nd.

Investigations are continuing at the crash scene next to the A27 but the road has now re-opened.

The 11th and final victim of the Shoreham airshow crash has been named as 72-year-old retired engineer James Mallinson.

Known by his middle name Graham, his family described him as "the kindest and most generous man".

The inquest into the deaths of all the victims was opened and adjourned on Wednesday. All the victims' names were officially confirmed before a minute's silence was held during the hearing.

Eleven local men were killed when a Hawker Hunter jet crashed onto the A27 in 2015.

They have been named as Maurice Rex Abrahams, Dylan Archer, Anthony David Brightwell, Matthew James Grimstone, Matthew Wesley Jones, James Graham Mallinson, Daniele Gaetano Polito, Mark Alexander Reeves, Jacob Henry Schilt, Richard Jonathan Smith and Mark James Trussler.

West Sussex Senior Coroner Penelope Schofield opened and adjourned the inquest today to 22 March 2016 for a pre-inquest review.
