The former Strictly head judge died on Saturday surrounded by his family.
Len Goodman was famed for his enthusiastic delivery when awarding seven points to contestants
Goodman began dancing at 19, winning the British Championships in his late 20s, after which he retired to become a professional judge, teacher and choreographer. He was the head judge on Strictly Come Dancing from its inception, and made his final appearance on the 2016 Christmas Day special. He also served as head judge on Dancing With The Stars for more than 15 years, announcing his retirement in November last year saying he wanted to "spend more time with my grandchildren and family" in the UK.BBC director-general Tim Davie was among those paying tribute, saying he was "a wonderful, warm entertainer who was adored by millions".
"He appealed to all ages and felt like a member of everyone's family," he said. "Len was at the very heart of Strictly's success. He will be hugely missed by the public and his many friends and family."
