Over 100,000 fans Line For Leicester Street Parade

There were amazing scenes in Leicester on Monday evening, as hundreds of thousands of supporters lined the streets to celebrate the recently-crowned Premier League champions’ victory parade.

The Foxes’ remarkable season came to close at the weekend and they finished their historic campaign with a 12-match unbeaten run after claiming a 1-1 draw with 2014-15 title winners Chelsea on Sunday.

Jamie Vardy and Co received a hero’s welcome from around a quarter of a million supporters when they took their place on the top deck of a blue party bus at 6 o’clock on Monday evening, driving through the streets of Leicester from Jubilee Square to Victoria Park.
