A sombre mood was witnessed around the King Power stadium as Leicester City Players joined thousands of mourners gathered around the club to pay tribute to fallen club chairman and owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha who was killed in crash near the stadium.
Srivaddhanaprabha family also laid tributes.
Two members of his staff, Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare, pilot Eric Swaffer and his partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz also died in the crash.
Here are some of the tributes by Leicester Players:
Islam Slimani
Leicester City striker Islam Slimani, who is currently on loan at Fenerbahce, has paid tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Slimani signed for Leicester in the summer of 2016 and is the club’s record signing after a reported £29m fee was agreed with Sporting Lisbon.
Very sad ?? I have no words to describe it. You were a generous man, kind man who had always a smile. My heart is broken I never forget https://t.co/EcUtz6d8VW ??? https://t.co/QocpQzrEJj

Kasper Schmeichel was visibly emotional as he stood next to Jamie Vardy as the players paused to remember Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Srivaddhanaprabha attended Vardy’s wedding to Rebekah Nicholson back in 2016.
Leicester City manager Claude Puel also joined his players and staff outside the stadium.
Thai billionaire Srivaddhanaprabha bought the east Midlands club in 2010.
According to Forbes magazine, he is the fifth richest person in Thailand with an estimated net worth of €4.3 billion.
Under his ownership, the club won the 2016 Premier League, having begun the season as 5,000/1 outsiders.
Several Premier League Clubs and the Football fraternity have sent condolence messages to Leicester for their tragic loss. EPL Matches over the weekend were played with players putting on black armbands to mourn the lost souls.
