Leicester's procession and coronation as English champions have largely been staged in the theatre of the absurd, so celebrations this afternoon have taken a fittingly ludicrous turn. Postman Lee Chapman has become the second most famous 'Chapman' from Leicester (pipped by Monty Python's Graham) as he looks an awful lot like Jamie Vardy. See for yourself:

We have to say, we are mildly affronted by the fact that Chapman is wearing a wrist bandage.

Such efficient postal service is not the only remarkable thing about this story. According to the Guardian's Josh Halliday, the Leicester team have hopped on a bus, driven to the King Power stadium, and picked the Vardy lookalike up. Watch below:

Leicester City have tweeted an image from inside the bus:

Fantastic. If the postman goes on the tear with the Lee Chapman lookalike Jamie Vardy and the rest of the squad tonight, we can't imagine the good people of Leicester will have their post arrive as promptly tomorrow.
