    The sister of a man killed in the Shoreham Airshow disaster told the BBC that her father never accepted that he could have prevented his son's death.

    Denise Morris' brother, Mark Reeves, 53, was killed while riding his motorbike to the event on 22 August.

    She said her father could not come to terms with declining his son's invite to attend the show - believing this might have saved his life as they would have gone together in a car.

    "Horrific things happen to people every day around the world," Ms Morris said.

    "But you never dream it's going to be you, your family or someone you love."

    A couple whose son died in the Shoreham air crash are calling for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to be held accountable for safety at the event.

    Matthew Grimstone, a Worthing United footballer, was travelling on the A27 when the plane crashed.

    His parents, Phil and Sue Grimstone, believe the public's safety was compromised and ignored at the expense of the show going ahead ten years ago.

    Rob Bishton, chief executive at the CAA, said: "Airshows continue to be subject to rigorous oversight to ensure the highest possible safety standards are maintained."

    Roy Barraclough, from West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, was on the scene on the day of the air crash.

    On Friday morning, he told BBC Radio Sussex: "I was attending the airshow as a duty officer and the incident happened as I was inside my vehicle.

    "It is very difficult to fully describe the scene as it not something that is describable in a day-to-day feeling.

    "From that warm, sunny day, the area was full of smoke and devastation. It was a very difficult situation and very complex."
