Leicester bus parade: Thousands of fans flood the city streets to celebrate Premier League success

Leicester City enjoyed an open-top bus parade through the streets of the city before attending a celebratory festival at Victoria Park

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.
