A permanent memorial garden will be created to remember the eleven men who lost their lives in the Shoreham Air Show disaster.
The tribute, designed and maintained by Brighton & Hove Albion, will be located at New Monks Park, close to the site of the tragedy.
The plans are unveiled as tomorrow marks the tenth anniversary of the crash.
Albion’s chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber said, “The club has always privately honoured the memory of those affected, not least our colleague Matt Grimstone, and his close friend, Jacob Schilt, whom we had also got to know well.
“However, as we approach the tenth anniversary of the tragedy, it feels like the right time to create a lasting and meaningful tribute that is more public.
“We know this is a deeply important project for the families of those directly and indirectly affected, and indeed the wider community, as Shoreham air crash had such a profound impact on so many lives.
“We hope this Memorial Garden will offer a peaceful space for reflection and remembrance for everyone, and we are grateful for the support of the families as we move forward.”
The families of the victims will be involved in the project, which also has the support of Adur District Council.
