Mosley, who hosted the BBC Radio 4 podcast Just One Thing, was posthumously honoured with the Hall of Fame Award at Outernet in central London.
Writer and GP Clare addressed the audience saying: "Firstly, I wish more than anything that Michael was here himself to be collecting this award." "One of Michael's very special gifts was also having the right words to use; he always knew the right thing to say, so I hope I can do him some justice this evening." She went on to say that Mosley knew his podcast "really connected with people", and "he loved the simplicity of the format and being able to genuinely help people. "The outpouring to me and my family in the last three months has shown us that it wasn't just the podcast they loved, it was Michael too," she added. "His warmth and his guidance, but mainly they connected with Michael because they saw he was a really genuinely kind person.
Unassuming and genuinely caring, that was Michael." Dr Clare concluded by thanking everyone for their "messages, the letters and outpouring of love", which has "really helped us as a family and we have been so comforted by them".
