The inquest into the deaths of the 11 Shoreham air disaster victims will be opened today.

All the victims' names will be officially released during today's hearing at County Hall North in Horsham, West Sussex.

Eleven people died when the vintage aircraft crashed on the A27 more than a week ago.

Families of those who died have been invited to the opening of the inquiry by West Sussex senior coroner Penelope Schofield's office.

Due to ongoing investigations by the Air Accident Investigation Branch, the inquest will be adjourned to a later date.
