A limousine driver who was supposed to take a bride to her wedding was feared dead in the Shoreham air crash.

The unnamed man was on his way to collect Rebecca Sheen to take her to marry Rajendran Asekaran when the Hawker Hunter fighter jet plunged on to the A27. The top half of the limousine was sheered off in the tragedy.

Later, Mrs Asekaran’s father read of the tragedy on his mobile phone during the ceremony at The Findon Manor, which could have killed the bride too.

After being unable to contact the driver, the bride and her bridesmaids were ferried to the ceremony by the photographer.

As Mrs Asekaran arrived home at Goring-by-Sea, West Sussex, she said.“My thoughts are with the families and we want to know how the driver is,”

“We’re fine. The wedding wasn’t ruined. It was beautiful; it was lovely.”
