Standing outside her home Mrs Budden said,  “My beautiful daughter is at peace.  Family and friends would like privacy at last.”

Referring to how her public battle with cancer raised awareness of the disease, Mr Clifford said, “I think she’s going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives.” He added, “She was a very, very brave girl. And she faced death in the way she faced her whole life – full on, with a lot of courage.”

Goody is survived by Tweed and her two sons Bobby and Freddy, with ex-boyfriend Jeff Brazier.  She is also survived by her mother Jackiey Budden.
