Now the whole of Leicester is having a party! 120,000 delirious fans line the city's streets to salute the Premier League's most unlikely ever champions

More than 100,000 men, women and children have lined the streets of the city (main image) to get a glimpse of their heroes and also the shiny trophy. For the first time in the club's 132-year history, Leicester City became champions of England - a victory regarded as one of the greatest ever sporting triumphs. A party atmosphere has been building all day as supporters gathered to laud the remarkable achievements of football's 'miracle team'. Scarf-waving revellers have crowded every thoroughfare of the parade route, which has been transformed into a sea of blue and white, reflecting the Foxes' colours. There has also been a big Italian contingent in the city, honouring countryman and manager Claudio Ranieri (right, with the trophy on the bus) who has spearheaded this year's successful campaign. Thousands also gathered at Victoria Park where the party will come to its climax. While the parade was ongoing the fans in the park were entertained by the Foxes' cheerleaders (inset).
