HUNDREDS of bikers paid their respects to victims of the Shoreham Airshow disaster with a Ride of Respect.
Organised by the West Sussex Bikers group, around 250 motorcyclists travelled from Halfords, in Downlands Business Park, Upper Brighton Road, Worthing, along the A27 to the Shoreham Tollbridge at 7.30pm on Saturday.
Giovanna Chirico, the fiancée of 54-year-old victim Mark Trussler, was among the riders. The window cleaner and a father-of-six was one of two bikers killed in the crash - the other Mark Reeves.
Miss Chirico and Mr Trussler's children lay a wreath and flowers on the bridge.
Organiser Andy Parmenter, thanked everyone who took part and extended his thoughts to the families of the 11 victims.
Donations were collected for the Shoreham Crash Fund and more than £165 was raised.
Earlier that afternoon biodegradable balloons were released in Mr Trussler's memory in Tarring Park, Worthing, at 1.20pm, marking exactly two weeks since the crash.
It was followed by a raffle and collection.
