Tribute issued to Shoreham plane crash victim

Tributes have been paid to Sussex man killed in the Shoreham air crash.

Mark Reeves, who was 53, died while taking photographs of the planes at the airshow.

In a statement his family said: "We will remember him as a gentle, loving, incredibly giving family man, husband to Wendy, father to Luke, granddad to three beautiful grand-daughters, brother to Denise and loving son of Ann and Kenneth.

"With his family he moved to Seaford nine years ago, drawn by our love of the sea and for Mark in particular, love of the sun.

"He was a sun worshipper and an enthusiastic holidaymaker, travelling to Fuerteventura and Madeira in recent years and would often be seen relaxing with a cocktail in hand.

"He worked as a CAD technician in West London and lived life to the full, parachuting and abseiling for cancer charities and also having a go at para-gliding and gliding.

"He will be missed by so many, not least the doctors and staff at the Seaford medical practice where Wendy works, who, like everyone who met Mark, were touched by his generosity, caring nature and overwhelmingly genuine, caring nature.

"We thank everyone who has sent their love, condolences and prayers."
