"It's put a smile on everyone's faces": Leicester City fans celebrate first FA Cup win


Leicester City fans are still reeling after their first ever FA Cup final win. The Foxes won 1-0 after a nail-biting goal in the final minutes by Chelsea was disallowed following a VAR decision.

More than 6,000 fans made the trip to Wembley in London on Saturday 15 May for the match, as it was the latest event to be part of the Government's pilot test event programme.

On the day when pubs, bars and restaurants across the Midlands finally welcome customers back inside, it felt like a dream come true - especially for a city that's faced more restrictions than any other.
