One man, skipper Dave Bickerstaff was rescued by RNLI after being found clinging to a lifebouy after the vessel sank off the East Sussex Coast on Saturday morning. The body of Adam Harper was recovered by divers on Monday. Another man, Robert Morley is still missing despite an extensive search by RNLI, Coastguard crews and other fishing vessels.

Tony said on the GoFundMe page: “I’m raising money in aid of Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen (The) so they can distribute to help all those affected.

“Our prayers are with those directly involved and the wider community who all have been affected in some way.”

Candles have been lit and tributes have been left at the man and boy statue in Brixham.
