Five people are to stand trial over the Concorde crash near Paris eight years ago which killed 113 people, French judicial officials say.

They are two employees of Continental Airlines, two from Concorde maker Aerospatiale, and the French civilian aviation authority.

The trial will take place in two to three months' time, the officials say.
