MATT JONES
Matt Jones was travelling to the beach with friend Daniele Polito on that Saturday morning.
The pair had been working on a building site at Shoreham Academy but were allowed to clock off early to enjoy the unexpected sunshine.
They jumped in Matt's car and were headed for the beach when Andy Hill's Hawker Hunter crashed.
The 24-year-old lived with his mum and dad in Littlehampton but was never one to sit still.
He had recently returned from living in Australia and when not DJing he was working wherever he could to earn money.
His mum Hazel remembers him as outgoing, adventurous and kind.
He had recently become an uncle and was a firm favourite with the two girls.
His dad Steve said: "The little girls adored him, they took it very hard. He always had time for the girls. He was forever playing with them."
On the Friday night he had returned home to pick up his work clothes before heading to a friend's house for the night.
Mum Hazel heard him put the key in the door before leaving with his clothes.
She never got to say goodbye.
DANIELE POLITO
YOUNG, confident and full of promise - Daniele Polito was a family man through and through.
A tattoo on his right bicep read 'Amo tutta la famiglia' which translates as 'I love all the family'.
Tragically it was this tattoo which led to his body being identified.
He had lived at the family home in Goring and his mum remembers his final words to her before his death: "Bye mum, love you."
The 23-year-old had stayed at a friend's house on the Friday night and got up early to go to work with Matt Jones.
Their boss let them knock off early and they had been on the way to the beach at 1.22pm.
It was 11pm that evening when police visited the family home to tell them that Daniele was feared dead.
Mum Leslye collapsed and spent the night retching in the toilet.
In the weeks and months that followed she found comfort in walking by the sea while his sister, Marina, took up his favourite hobby, swimming.
Leslye said: "He was cheeky, lovable, friendly and helpful. He had a disarming smile and all women fell for him."
MATTHEW GRIMSTONE
Talented goalkeeper Matthew Grimstone, 23, was on his way to play football with friend Jacob Schilt at the time of the tragedy.
Brighton born and bred, football was his passion and he had played throughout his school years.
He started at Balfour Junior School, later playing at Varndean School and then for Withdean Youth and Worthing United.
Such was his love for the sport he even worked at Brighton and Hove Albion as a groundsman.
His family remember him as keen cook, often making a variety of vegetarian delights in the kitchen.
He was also a lover of pub quizzes, card tricks and - of course - his family.
The pair has been on the way to the Worthing United's Lyons Farm ground for a 3pm kick off against Loxwood.
His family never got to say goodbye.
Matthew and Jacob spent much of their lives together - and ultimately died together, side by side.
JACOB SCHILT
Jacob Schilt, 23, had been preparing to study a master’s degree at the University of Brighton.
He had graduated in geography from the University of Portsmouth but was keen to get into the world of town planning.
A talented midfielder, he also played for Worthing United, and had been in the car with Matthew Grimstone when the Hawker Hunter crashed.
His family described him as a football crazy child growing up in Brighton.
He would forever be kicking a ball around in the neighbour's garden. And when it was too wet, he would play in hallway, with the family cat Becks (named after David Beckham) standing in as goalkeeper.
His girlfriend, Megan Duffy, said she was sure the couple would have “grown up, got married, had babies and moved to Brighton”.
Talking about Jacob's football boots which still sit by the back door, dad Bob said: “Sometimes I can see them, and have a really bad moment, but then again you could just be driving in the car or catch a glimpse of a photo on the stairs and it breaks your heart all over again.”
MAURICE ABRAHAMS
Maurice Abrahams was doing what he loved that Saturday afternoon The wedding chauffeur had picked up hundreds of brides over the years and was off to fetch Rebecca Sheen from Goring on her big day.
The 76-year-old had done it all. He had been a policeman, a fish and chip shop owner, a paratrooper and a soldier in the Grenadier Guard.
But in his later years he became a wedding chauffeur with his pride and joy his beloved Daimler.
Friends and family of Maurice feared the worst just hours after the crash with eyewitnesses having picked out the car among the twisted wreckage.
In the days after his death was confirmed, brides came froward in their droves, eager to tell us how he looked after them on their big day.
Natalie Dowyer who had got married just two months before his death, said: "He was the type of guy who just knew what to say at the right time.
"I was so nervous and he kept me calm thought all. I have never met anyone like him."
DYLAN ARCHER
Dylan Archer, 42, was an IT consultant and was on a bike ride with Richard Smith when he died.
Originally from the Midlands, he moved to Brighton in 1991 and never left.

He is survived by his partner of 17 years Alice, their two sons aged 15 and 12, his sister Ruth and two-year-old niece.
His family paid tribute to him in the days after his death, remembering his dry sense of humour and generous nature.

He grew up in Buckinghamshire, before going to university in Birmingham and then later moving to Brighton.
He lived in Lansdowne Square, Hove, and worked in marketing and web development at ActSmart, an independent company based in Hove, specialising in providing advice to the cycle industry.

She said: “It is hard to feel such pain and not be able to turn to turn to the one person who could always make me feel better.

"I know there is so much more I should say but I cannot find the words.”
He leaves behind his parents Julie and Jonathan and brothers William and Edward.
MARK REEVES
Mark Reeves, 52, had been combining two of his favourite hobbies that day: riding his motorbike and photographing planes.
He left his Seaford home on his cherished Honda and parked at the side of the A27.
His family described him as a sun worshipper and keen holidaymaker who was particularly fond of the Canary Islands and the Portuguese island of Madeira.
He would often be pictured with a cocktail glass in his hand - as indeed he was in the image released to the media in the days after his death.
He worked as a CAD technician in London but outside of work was something of a thrill seeker, having completed parachute jumps and abseils for charity.
He family, which includes wife Wendy, son Luke, sister Denise, parents Anne and Kenneth and three granddaughters, said he was a veteran of many airshows but had never been to Shoreham.
They said: "We will remember him as a gentle, loving, incredibly giving family man.

Window cleaner Mark Trussler, 54, took his beloved motorbike out that morning to watch the airshow from the side of the A27.
He left his partner of 13 years years Giovanna Chirico at their Worthing home, along with children Luke, 13, Mia, 11, Sophia, four, and Alicia, three.
She texted him shortly before the tragedy to tell him when the flight was due, to which he replied to make sure the kids were ready for 3pm so we could take them to lunch.
His last text message to her read "I love you too, forever.”
He was one of the last victims to be formally identified, with his death not confirmed until the Friday.
Giovanna then had the agonising task of breaking the news to their children.
She recounted the heartbreaking conversation: "Mummy has been told that when the plane was crashing it accidentally knocked daddy off his bike and he bumped his head.
