Leicester City have capped off their historic English Premier League triumph with a victory parade.
An estimated 200,000 fans gathered to watch the team, who travelled from Jubilee Square in the city centre to Victoria Park on open-top buses.
Leicester won the title two weeks ago, when their closest rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, only managed a draw against Chelsea where they needed a win, and received the trophy on May 7, following their final home game of the season, a 3-1 win over Everton.
