East Worthing and Shoreham MP says it is "hard to believe" it was five years ago:
It’s hard to believe that it is 5 years since that fateful summer’s day in August when 11 men tragically lost their lives in the Shoreham Air Show disaster.

The pilot involved in the crash, Andy Hill, was cleared of manslaughter charges last year.
An inquest has been adjourned until 2021 to allow families and friends of those who died to attend.
