Hello, it's Justin Webb here.

On the programme today, we heard from Dr. Claire Bailey Mosley, the widow of Michael Mosley.

We talked about his work, we talked about his legacy, and we talked as well about how she was.

But we started with the tributes that she has been reading to him.

Oh, just extraordinary. And it's been completely overwhelming the response. People really loved him.

You know, in his, they talk about it in terms of, I mean, I've got a list of lovely quotes that people say, which are just so touching and so caring.

And I mean, one of the main things was that people felt they really knew him, that they lived

in his kitchen and knew what he was cooking almost.

It was a very sort of trusting and kind of weirdly intimate relationship.

Did you realize how intimate that relationship was before? I wouldn't have guessed. Well, I mean, I know he was very popular and he had an extraordinary way of making things clear and understandable and engaging.

But he had spread through so many different routes.

And the tributes showed that from, you know, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this on air.

We've only just started looking at the letters because there were so many and there's been so much going on.

I haven't opened.

Goodness, I think you're allowed to say that. I think people will definitely say you're

allowed to say that. And I mean, we, we, it's just been so kind of uplifting and very

hugely, you know, so grateful for that.

Yeah.

And just so incredible that he has made such a difference to people.

You know, I'm so proud of what he's done.

That's the point, isn't it?
