After winning their first ever English Premier League title and probably every bookie’s worst nightmare, Leicester City fans came out in huge numbers to support their local team winning the 2016 EPL title.
The celebration took place at Jubilee Park and welcomed fans from all over. Sky Sports was there to show an aerial view of the team on their double-decker bus, driving through the streets of Leicester.

Still, they were able to beat some of the league’s best and come out on top. Now Leicester fans can rejoice in Champions League football and are celebrating like crazy around town.
