Office workers added a splash of colour to their workplace by dressing in pink in support of a breast cancer charity appeal.

Staff at insurance brokers Berkeley Burke, off London Road, Leicester, raised up to £200 for Wear It Pink day, on Friday.

Proceeds will go to the Breast Cancer Campaign.

But even the most flamboyant staff members were taken aback by what admin clerk Ross Lyons pulled out of his wardrobe.

The 21-year-old, from Wigston, turned up for work in an all-pink body stocking.

"Most people wore a pink item of some kind but I thought 'why not go the whole way'?," he said.

"I got some bizarre looks but it put a smile on people's faces. We had a great time and everyone got into the spirit of the day to raise awareness of the charity."

More cash was raised with an office cake and biscuit sale.

The Breast Cancer Campaign is looking to raise £3 million to pay for research into treatment for the disease.
