The Leicester City Premier League title parade was so, so awesome
A great story has a great ending.


A big chunk of Leicester took Monday off to attend a big parade, party and concert celebrating the Premier League champions. There are just over 800,000 people in greater Leicester, and about 100,000 of them came out for an enormous celebration featuring an open-top bus driving through the streets with the trophy and a concert by Kasabian.
Check out this video of the scene, it was nuts.
