Leicester City online: best of the week from #LCFC Twitter
This is a round-up of the 10 best, most inspiring and moving Leicester City tweets from the week, from #LCFC Twitter.
At Foxes of Leicester – and FanSided in general – we like to include humour through funny Tweets in our Twitter round-up. Although this week, poignancy seemed suitably appropriate under current circumstances. That is not to say the usual style won’t return on Sunday, for the post-game social media collection.
Emotional weekend in Thailand. The support been shown to Vichai has been incredible and shows what a great man he was. Forever in our hearts. #TheBoss 💙 pic.twitter.com/z4DJi8qCMQ

Leicester City’s Harry Maguire begins our sequence. The England defender is injured for the Burnley match, following an early departure versus Cardiff City. However, that did not stop him travelling to Thailand for Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha‘s funeral.
Thinking of re recording a 2018 version of When You’re Smiling with all the proceeds going to the Vichai Shrivaddhanaprabha Foundation. Looking to get the LCFC fans on the track and a few other guests. @LCFC

‘When you’re smiling’.
The LCFC Foxes Foundation has been renamed The Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation in honour of Leicester City’s late Chairman.

A fitting honour from Leicester City, via lcfc.com.
The Vardys – Jamie and Rebekah – auctioned their matchday box and the boots worn by Jamie against Cardiff on that emotive day. All proceeds are going to the Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation. Bravo.

Together as one fantastic family club.
Those thoughts echoed by Ben Chilwell.
So humbling to see these tributes. It's a mix of pride and sadness. Then you notice the image on the stadium's big screen in the background 😢💙🙏🏽🦊 #lcfc pic.twitter.com/RudYomESJL

• Vichai's family will attend game.
• Being at funeral was important
• Maguire and Maddison not available for the Burnley match and miss @England also.
• Chilwell in Eng squad
• Puel wants concentration/balanced emotions
Khun Vichai‘s family will attend the first home fixture since the club’s darkest day. Obviously, both sets of fans will respect the emotional juncture; the Clarets have apparently readied their own tribute flag.
It must be said: Cardiff players, fans and staff did a great job in honouring Leicester City, as well as supporters. The Foxes found a tremendous performance for a miraculous win; coming through Demarai Gray’s emotional goal, since tragedy struck.
On the match this weekend, Sky Sports report:
"A number of special tributes are planned ahead of the game with Burnley, including a solidarity walk being staged by supporters, where up to 20,0000 people will march from the city centre to the King Power Stadium."
Read. Latest from Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's inquest. light

There are memorials, events, testimonials and tributes planned for the most emotive of occasions – FoL will keep the Blue Army up-to-date through our social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook.
