Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, paid tribute on Wednesday to late Leicester City club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, and the four other people who died with him, in last month's tragic helicopter accident outside the King Power Stadium.
Vichai's son, Aiyawatt, stood alongside the royal couple as they paid their respect at the stadium. They also met staff from organizations that have been helped by the Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Charitable Foundation.
Prince William then praised the late Thai businessman as someone who cared deeply about the local community. Srivaddhanaprabha's widow, Aimon, and their daughter, Aroonroong, were also on hand for the tribute.
The club owner, two members of his staff, the helicopter pilot, and his partner all died when the aircraft crashed after a game on October 27.
