Our thoughts are with all her loved ones
Tributes have been paid to a former BBC Radio Nottingham editor who has died aged 57. Sophie Shardlow had a career spanning more than 22 years at the BBC, which included working on Nottingham broadcasting legend Dennis McCarthy's show.
Sophie Shardlow later became the lead for radio teams in Leicester and Nottingham and also worked at BBC Radio Derby. Her time at the BBC included guiding Radio Nottingham's campaign for 11,000 knitted poppies to mark the centenary of World War One. The campaign ended up getting more than 100,000 of the knitted flowers. Sophie Shardlow was first diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in 2020, which later became terminal, and died on Tuesday .Stuart Thomas, Senior Head of Productions for the Midlands, said: "Our thoughts and condolences are with Sophie's family and friends at this very sad time. Sophie was a force of nature. She led teams in BBC Radio Nottingham and BBC Radio Leicester with brilliant ideas and incredible humanity.
"From “Sophie behind the glass” with Dennis McCarthy to running her own radio stations – she always made sure our audiences got the best possible radio. She will be greatly missed by all."
