Leicester footballers in Bangkok to pay respects to Vichai

Leicester City players and officials are flying to Thailand to attend the funeral of the club’s owner who died in a helicopter crash.

Vichai’s funeral began at a Bangkok temple on Saturday with Buddhist bathing rituals and will be followed by recitation ceremonies.

Players will be attending services on Sunday and Monday after beating Cardiff 1-0 in the first game since his death.

Before the match they wore T-shirts featuring a picture of Mr Vichai.

They stood for a minute’s silence along with Leicester City staff and fans ahead of the kick-off.
