Sharon McCord, who has died at the age of 45, was a journalist, editor and blogger, known better perhaps as Sara Villiers, the nom de plume she employed throughout her career at The Herald in the 1990s. As feature writer, columnist, critic and restaurant reviewer, she enlivened the paper with a viewpoint that was outspoken but in the most tolerable way, with a take on the passing scene that harnessed insight to a certain giddy humour.
