Leicester fans flooded the streets of the city on Monday to revel in
the club’s Premier League title success as Claudio Ranieri and his squad
paraded through the streets before a mass celebration took place in
Victoria Park.
Fans began lining the streets early in the morning despite the
players not taking to the open-top bus until around 18.00, complete with
the Premier League trophy that the club lifted after their final home
game at the King Power Stadium on 7 May.
Starting at Jubilee Square, the team made their way through the
streets passing recognisable Leicester landmarks along the way, with
thousands of fans lining the streets outside places such as the Curve
Theatre, the Clock Tower and Gallowtree Gate.
Some supporters had enough space to follow the convoy of four buses
along the route, although the players did stop along the way so fans
could take pictures before they continued on their way.
Just two years since their last open-top bus parade following the
2013/14 Championship success, the club and its supporters were able to
revel in their first ever top flight league title, having never won it
before in their 125-year history.
Leicester South MP Jon Ashworth joined in with the celebrations,
tweeting a picture from Victoria Park where a sea of blue was created
after celebratory flags were handed out to those attending the carnival
atmosphere.
