Heathrow Airport is now waving a rainbow flag made of 6,000 passengers’ kisses.

Pride in London is this coming weekend, and the flag was the airport’s way of participating in the festivities.

Staff offered passengers colorful lipstick, which they applied and then kissed a white cloth. Final kisses were added by airport staff.

“Many of the LGBT+ community travel into London, to celebrate this incredible festival so we wanted to give them a warm welcome by, quite literally, flying the flag for Pride,” said Carol Hui, Heathrow’s Chief of Staff.

The flag will fly outside of Terminal 2 for the rest of July.
