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 (March 28).
