The wife and son of Leicester City’s owner have laid a wreath at the club’s stadium after he was killed alongside four others in a helicopter crash.
Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, two members of staff, the pilot and a passenger, all died after the aircraft spiralled out of control outside the ground.
The club’s first team and youth squad are also at the King Power Stadium.
A team investigating Saturday night’s crash has recovered the aircraft’s digital flight data recorder.
Leicestershire Police named the other people killed in the crash as Nursara Suknamai, Kaveporn Punpare, pilot Eric Swaffer and his partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz.
The club chairman’s wife Aimon and son Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha were joined at the ground by the president of the Thai FA, Somyot Poompanmoung, and his wife, Potjaman Poompanmoung.
Manager Claude Puel joined his players while vice-chairman Aiyawatt returned to see the tributes after arriving earlier in the morning while around 200 fans broke into spontaneous applause.
Many of the players have paid tribute to Mr Vichai on social media, including club captain Wes Morgan.
He tweeted: “Absolutely heartbroken and devastated regarding the news of our chairman. A man that was loved and adored by everyone here at lcfc.” (BBC)
