Floral tributes left at Leicester City ground after helicopter crash; fans comment

(28 Oct 2018) Flowers and wreaths have been laid outside Leicester's City's stadium, the morning after a helicopter belonging to the English club's Thai owner crashed in flames next to the ground.
The Air Accident Investigation Branch has been deployed to the site and is looking into the circumstances of the crash after the helicopter took off from the field following a Premier League game between Leicester and West Ham on Saturday night.
Small bouquets were left by members of the public outside King Power Stadium alongside a large image of the Hindu god Ganesh, which was also propped up among the flowers.
A small candle was placed in front of the flowers as people gathered at the stadium.
"We're sorry for everyone (who) is on the helicopter," said Leicester City fan Bob Singh Kullar.
Leicester's owner, Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, is known for arriving and leaving the stadium in his helicopter at home games.
There has been no official statement about who was on board.
