Mr Goodwin's funeral will take place at St Andrews Church, at 11:00 on Thursday 2 November.

Co-op warehouses in the Channel Islands ahead of their closure in 2015
Buildings near the marshland at Beaumont in Jersey could be demolished to make way for housing.
The old Co-op warehouses could be redeveloped by firm Dandara, if planners agree.

Now, an application to demolish the warehouses and turn them into flats has been lodged.
Twenty-one single room flats, and another 44 two bedroom units have been proposed.

Image source, PAUL GRECAUDTwo seasoned Channel Islands' politicians are in Brussels today with more uncertainty than ever around the future relationship with the bloc.
None of the islands is in nor is leaving the EU, but their future trading relationship will change as a result of Brexit.
The prospect of being added to a new consolidated EU tax blacklist, due to be published before the end of the year, will be a concern too.
Being on the list would equate to a moving of the goalposts, according to Guernsey's Deputy Chief Minister Lyndon Trott, who has made it his mission to emphasise the progress Guernsey has made when it comes to tax transparency.
The island politicians are due to meet with representatives from member states Cyprus, France, Ireland, Italy, Romania, and the UK.
Jersey's Chief Minister, Senator Ian Gorst said he was expecting "productive dialogue" on tax matters with the European Council, which is drawing up the tax blacklist.
As third countries, Guernsey and Jersey have their own agreements when it comes to trading in financial services with member states, which are not anticipated to change post-Brexit.
The British government does, however, have to negotiate future arrangements when it comes to trading goods between the islands and the EU.
Industries such as fisheries are heavily dependent on EU exports.
Guernsey Airport says it will be carrying out work after a passenger raised concerns about the appearance of an airport gate.
Work would be carried out within the "next couple of weeks" to seal the roof and replace tiles, the airport said.

Jersey's Chief Minister says he's going to re-iterate the value of the island's relationship with EU member states on a visit to Brussels today.
Senator Ian Gorst and Guernsey's Deputy Chief Minister Lyndon Trott are meeting with representative from France, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Cyprus and the UK.
The visit comes ahead of the expected publication of an EU-wide tax blacklist before the end of the year.
Quote MessageGiven the ongoing Brexit negotiations and present deliberations by the EU Code of Conduct Group on matters of tax transparency, it is a timely opportunity to hear their views and respond to their questions. I want to emphasise the value we place, as an Island, on our relationships within Europe, and that we want these to continue to flourish beyond Brexit.”
Senator Ian Gorst, Jersey's Chief Minister
