Brendan Rodgers and his Leicester players gathered in Bangkok on Thursday as the cremation ceremony of the club's late chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha took place.

Wes Morgan and Jamie Vardy were among the players who gathered in Thailand for the ceremony to say a final farewell to the chairman who died in a tragic helicopter crash back in October.

The players and club staff were joined by Buddhist monks, Thai royal officials and the country's king at a temple in Bangkok to pay their respects to the man who oversaw their incredible Premier League title win in 2015-16.
