The locals on this lovely little island have been so helpful and kind, and have definitely stepped up to the mark in their search for Dr Mosley. They couldn’t have done more. As for this poor camera man, he’s obviously in shock and is distressed by what he has witnessed. He is a good man with a good heart.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been involved in the search, the recovery of the body and Dr Mosley’s family.

Many thanks to the Greeks of Symi and the Greek government, who, under difficult conditions and with 45 degrees, searched the island with all the means at their disposal, to find the missing person.

Dr Mosely was such an endearing man with a twinkle in his eyes and compassion in his heart, with an adventurous spirit and curious mind and he will be remembered as such by many who knew him or saw him in his many TV appearances.
