Staff at Thomas Cook in Peterborough celebrate Peterborough Pride.

Colleagues at holiday giant Thomas Cook held their first Pride event at their offices in Westpoint, Lynch Wood.

A spokeswoman for the company said: “Hundreds of our colleagues took part in the occasion.

“They learnt about our top lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) friendly destinations and products at a trade fair and during a lunch and learn session.

She said that staff also helped create a human rainbow with a number of teams wearing different colours during the day.

The event was sponsored by Dentsu Aegis Network and Mailing & Marketing Solutions.

The spokeswoman said the event helped raise money for the Thomas Cook Children’s Charity which will be donated to LGBTQ youth causes.
