Tributes have been paid to the pair with messages of love and support being shared across the country.
In Newhaven, a memorial has been set up for the fishermen, believed to be Adam Harper and Robert Morley.
Flowers and candles were left on the end of the arm by the lifeboat walkway.
Local residents were invited to come together Wednesday (25) evening at 6.30pm to hold two minutes silence to remember their 'fishermen heroes'.
A number of candles and flowers have been left by a statue to honour those lost at sea in Brixham, Devon (pictured below).
