The Foxes received the Premier League trophy following a 3-0 demolition of Everton on Saturday during a day of celebration at the King Power Stadium, which included a rendition of Nessun Dorma by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.

Leicester, who escaped relegation last season and started the current season as 5000-1 outsiders, overcame their underdogs tag by winning the title in what could be termed as one of the most remarkable seasons of the football history.
“We are staying up”, Leicester fans sang before bellowing out the words they will never tire of chanting: “Champions of England we know what we are”.
The Blues travel to the Stadium of Light in mid-week looking to recover from their 3-1 loss at the King Power stadium on Saturday which saw them drop to 12th in the Premier League table. “If you really believe in a player, get all the DVD evidence clipped up, but then get out and see them”.
“I hope we can find good players and make some replacements because next season there will be three cups and the Premier League and it will be important to be able to make good changes and give some rest to the players”.
Leicester fans have been revelling in their success, perhaps going a little overboard. “This is insane season, big teams aren’t consistent and we have consistency”. A feather in cap for the team’s manager Claudio Ranieri. “I am very happy”.
“It will be a very different season”, Ranieri told Sky Sports.
“I think first and foremost, it is just a day for Leicester City and to celebrate them”, said the Spaniard.
As captain Wes Morgan hoisted the trophy aloft on the big screen behind them, jubilant fans jumped into a fountain, with confetti raining down. “We are Thais and we will always follow other Thais who are successful internationally”.
Jamie Vardy, who scored twice against Everton to take his league tally to 24 goals, added: “It’s been a long and hard process to get here”.
Banned for Leicester’s two previous games, Vardy struck in each half, with Welsh midfielder Andy King also on target.
