Leicester's Demarai Gray reveals the words 'For Vichai' on his shirt after scoring against Cardiff

Leicester paid an emotional tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha as the grief-stricken club won 1-0 at Cardiff. Demarai Gray got the match-winner for Leicester on a day the elaborate funeral of the duty-free mogul began at a Buddhist temple in Bangkok. Members of Thailand's business and political elite came in black mourning garb to pay tribute to the billionaire.

The No. 2 in Thailand's junta Prawit Wongsuwan and CP group's Dhanin Chearavanont, the richest man in the country, were seen arriving at the week-long ceremony. Prominent figures in Thailand's music and sporting scene were also in attendance to honour Vichai, 60, who along with four others died in a helicopter accident moments after leaving the football club's pitch a week ago.
