Leicester City F.C. supporters turned out in full force to celebrate their Premier League Champions in an open-top bus parade through the Midlands. The event was truly remarkable for fans who likely never even dreamed of one day holding the title. The Foxes chipped away at their 5000-1 odds with their consistency each week, and their underdog status no doubt helped the team not to feel the pressure that the bigger clubs often feel.
Hundreds of thousands of fans numbering some 250,000 lined the streets in the heart of Leicester City, hoping to catch a glimpse of manager Claudio Ranieri and his championship players, as well as the Premier League trophy — adorned in royal blue and white.
The crowd cheered as one by one, the players reenacted receiving the trophy atop the bus, with captain Wes Morgan saying:
"What we've achieved this season has been fantastic and the boys and the staff... and the fans, everyone has contributed to it and it has been a fantastic season and you can't take that away from us."
The Foxes finished well ahead of their closest rivals Arsenal and Tottenham. No one can deny that the team are deserving winners.
