When Margaret Angell, 96, agreed to marry her future husband Cecil in 1948, money was too tight to justify a ring.

However, Mr Angell said he would stretch to one if the Foxes lifted the coveted trophy.

He died in 2005 but his promise was fulfilled by son Mike Angell, who bought his mother a ring days after the 1-0 win over Chelsea at Wembley.

The family took Mrs Angell from her home in Leicester to a jeweller's shop in Melton Mowbray where she picked out her favourite from a selection of 1940s rings in blue and white colours.

Mr Angell even went down on one knee to present the sapphire ring in style.
