    A definite 10 for Len. He and Brucie were the faces of Strictly in my eyes and it's hard to express how much Len will be missed.

    Craig's words showed he is heartbroken. He may have been his sparring partner but he was his dear friend.. Thought they would have got Bruno to say a few words , beautiful tribute none the less.

      Looks like they limited that particular tribute to current Strictly personnel - I think the likes of Bruno, Arlene Phillips, Darcey Bussell, Alesha Dixon and maybe some of the former pros like Brendan Cole, Erin Boag, Karen Hardy etc would have paid their respects if the net had been cast wider.
      But for a small segment within the launch show, I agree it was beautifully done.

    I had the honour of watching the Strictly professionals on tour perform a tribute to the great Len Goodman! They danced to ‘You’re The Voice’ by John Farnham, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! That was a beautiful tribute! Len was one of the reasons why Strictly is so good! R.I.P legend 💔

    I watched him for 20 seasons on DWTS. I grew up watching him and his kindness to others! I bet Len will continue to watch Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars in heaven. Maybe heaven is doing their own version of the show with Sir Bruce Forsyth as host and Len as the head judge.

    "All aboard the Strictly Express. Well you better get back there and start shovelling the glitter!" Strictly Express Launch Show 2016. We can always watch that happily. You're in our hearts, Len. No-one could possibly match the Good-man you are and always will be.

    What a truly touching tribute. I remember when SCD came on TV for the first time and Len was always a character that I warmed to. No matter what the feedback was, whether it was good, bad or one that the contestants never wanted to hear he always did it in a way that made him an endearing presence on the show and one that you really respected as a head judge. He will sorely be missed.

    A beautiful tribute to an iconic and irreplaceable figure of Strictly and Dancing with the Stars ❤. He had just retired from DWTS last year and they gave some lovely tributes to him on his last shows, the ones they will inevitably do on the upcoming series I will be a mess. Sweet fun fact: Shirley’s son, Mark Ballas, has been a pro on DWTS and last year, on Len’s final DWTS series, he won with his celebrity partner!

    Anton's concluding quote just broke my heart. Usually, I agreed with Craig's critique - not with Len's. Len was never an objective judge: he cared more about the program than about objective evaluations. But he was an ultimate showman, folksy jokes et all. His name is forever ingrained in the SCD history.

    I wanna say on my behalf of my entertainment family I want to say about Len what I think about him I think he is everything he was a father figure to all his female and men contestants and a true legend grate judge on dancing with the stars and also he is definitely a outgoing person and a funny comedian he was and a true passion for the arts and the dance and he loves music one good thing about him is grate dancer he is and he is the man who never knew and his legacy will never be forgotten and his work will live on forever through with his amazing talents he had there is a iconic quote from our king of pop mr Michael Jackson when he was alive I remember him he said that he loves watching dancing with the stars he said about dancers is dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive the ecstasy of Divine union through my music and dance that means he is saying is Dancing is a passion for to heal the world to those who are believers for Len he is a believer and he was blessed with that talent he’d had to world and a very kind hearted person he is and I remember watching him on dancing with the stars sometimes when he sees one contestants miss a dance step he gets upset and mad sometimes he always gets his way but now he is no longer with us anymore because when someone who believes in something they are heal and those who believes in Jesus Christ they shall have eternal life and a everlasting love in the glory of god he is the man for Len he will be missed and never be forgotten let’s make the world to better place for Len and by showing the world who we are and love for dance they say in bible we all shell dance around the lord and let’s celebrate the life of true colours of this world by dancing and singing your hearts out may Len Rest In Peace and they will leave you alone and go to the light Len you are our star of the making and a fabulous guy goodbye and goodnight
