The Shoreham air crash inquest finally begins: Day 1

More than seven years ago on the 22 August 2015 eleven men were killed when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed into the A27 on approach to the Shoreham Airshow. In her opening remarks on the first day of the long-awaited inquest the West Sussex Senior Coroner Ms Penelope Schofield apologised to their families. Some of those families then gave β€˜pen portraits’, telling the court what their loved ones meant to them.
Our reporter Ben Weisz was there - and will be everyday it sits over the next 4 weeks.
