Leicester's unexpected title win has been a victory not just for the club, but for the entire city.

Not only have the club secured their first ever top-flight title, but they've done so by a margin of 10 points - more than Jose Mourinho's Chelsea team managed in 2014/15. And fans were out in force to welcome the victorious squad as they went on an open-top bus parade across the city centre. Jamie Vardy was visibly enjoying himself throughout the parade, and he even interrupted a BBC interview to call out in the direction of a group of young fans who had gone to great lengths to cheer their heroes. Leicester City v Everton - Premier League The success hasn't quite sunk in just yet, with Vardy admitting it might take a while longer before the players properly realise the extent of their achievements. "I'm sure it will [sink in] over time," Vardy said. "It's been an unbelievable achievement so I'll just wait until it does sink in and I think I'll have a few days to myself." https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/732258964461641728
