Terry Wogan in the Radio Academy Hall of Fame

This afternoon in London, Terry Wogan was inducted into the Radio Academy Hall of Fame. This comes as Wogan gives up his breakfast show at the end of next week.

The great and the good (and the rest of us) were out in force to pay their respects, and all in all it was actually quite moving.

Wogan's successor, Chris Evans conducted procedings and was very moved himself. He'd been sat at the same table as Wogan throughout the preceding meal.

Also presented at the event was an award to the artist or artists who saw the most airplay in the last 12 months. This went to Take That, and Gary Barlow showed up to pick up his award.

But the main procedings were reserved for Terry. A nice video featuring the likes of Noel Edmonds, Chris Tarrent (at the filming of the celebrity episode where Evans and Wogan are to appear), Tony Blackburn and Mike Smith was played out. But then came the in-person tributes.

After Evans, we got Neil Fox from Magic who gave a nice measured speech; Christian O'Connell from Absolute Radio who gave a very funny speech, joking about the RAJAR figures; John Humphrys from the Today programme on Radio 4 who was also excellent; Alan Brazil from TalkSport who spoke very briefly for someone who works on a speech station; and Chris Moyles from Radio 1 who was a bit disappointing.

Overall a fine event that most people in room seemed to think was worthwhile.

Disclaimer: I attended this event as a guest of PRS for Music, which in part explains why I had a rather good table right at the front of the room, as they are the events key sponsors.
