Tributes have been paid to Sarah Hughes, the Observer and Guardian journalist who has died from cancer. Hughes, a mother of two, was a hugely respected journalist whose work ranged from hard-hitting and acclaimed overseas reportage, to the television and entertainment writing that she went on to specialise in. Despite her cancer, she had continued to work, and her final Line of Duty recap was published the day before she died, at 48. An open thread will run for the rest of the television series for readers to discuss the programme, as her expertise and passion is regarded as irreplaceable. She wrote a number of candid pieces for the Observer about her illness. In one article, published in November in the Observer magazine, she spoke of coping with cancer against the backdrop of lockdown, her love for her family and the advice she would give to any reader.
