Shoreham air crash: Police fear death toll 'may rise'

More bodies may be found after a vintage jet crashed, killing seven people, while performing at an air show in West Sussex, police have said.

Air crash investigators and emergency services will continue to search the crash scene on Sunday.
The Hawker Hunter failed to complete a loop-the-loop at the Shoreham Air Show and descended into the A27 on Saturday.
The pilot was taken by air ambulance to the Royal Sussex County Hospital and is "fighting for his life", police say.
He has been named locally as Andy Hill, a former RAF pilot.
Seven people died and a further 14 people were injured, four of whom were taken to hospital, when the jet crashed at 13:20 BST on Saturday.
