The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit Leicester City next week, to pay tribute to the five people killed in a helicopter crash.

The club will host the Duke and Duchess on the 28th November, where they will pay tribute to the Leicester City Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, with whom they were personally acquainted.

Kensington Palace said they will also "recognise the warmth and compassion that the people of Leicester and fans of the Club have shown in reaction to the accident".

The schedule for their Royal Highnesses will include:

  • a visit the tribute site near the stadium to pay their respects to those killed in the accident

  • being introduced to members of the Club’s management team and playing squad

  • meet Club staff and volunteers who helped to relocate the thousands of tributes which were left outside the stadium following the accident

  • visit King Power Stadium itself, where they will meet with representatives from local charities that were supported by Khun Vichai

  • visit the University of Leicester to hear about some of the educational programmes that Leicester City Football Club has helped to support
