His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej passed away on Thursday afternoon following recent ill-health. He was 89.
The world’s longest-reigning monarch, King Bhumibol was a very deeply revered and much-loved figure in the homeland of Leicester City’s owners, the Srivaddhanaprabha family.
As a further mark of respect, Leicester City players will wear black armbands this weekend – for Friday’s PL2 outing and Saturday’s Premier League fixture, both away at Chelsea.
Leicester City Football Club extends its heartfelt condolences to the Thai people at this sad and difficult time.
