Captain Wes Morgan paid tribute to his colleagues:
"I've never known a spirit like the one between these boys. We're like brothers. People saw it last season when everyone expected us to be relegated, but we fought back to prove people wrong.
We've built on the momentum, but I don't think anyone believed it would come to this.
"Saturday can't come quickly enough. I can't wait to get my hands on the trophy," added the centre back, who will hoist it in front of the club's fans in the home game against Everton.
Player of the year Jamie Vardy was full of emotion:
It's the biggest achievement in the history of a great club and we all feel privileged to be part of it.
"It's even more special to have done it with these lads. Every minute of hard work we've put in on the training pitch has been worth it for this moment."
Midfielder Andy King added similar sentiments:
I thought I'd seen everything with this club, but I never thought I'd see this.
As this is modern football, many of the Leicester squad took to Twitter to express their joy at their success.
Danny Drinkwater left Manchester United, presumably because they could not match his ambitions:
Christian Fuchs channelled his inner Werner Herzog.
Robert Huth used what some would describe as his inimitable, wry sense of humour.
Which was a sentiment undercut by the borderline-teary Kasper Schmeichel challenging the stoic nature of modern masculinity.
Their best player had the dullest tweet, by far.
Jeffrey Schlupp posted this, and a sweary Tweet that we’re not able to publish, but is much funnier.
Gokhan Inler celebrated that the rule about having to make 10 appearances in the league to qualify for a medal has been abolished.
And Esteban Cambiasso is unfortunately not on Twitter.
