One Thomas Cook holiday maker has described emotional scenes on his flight home to Gatwick airport during the early hours of Monday morning.

Charity worker Joe Jeness, 34, and his partner Gaynor were on one of the last scheduled flights from Lanzarote to London when the Captain announced over the tannoy system that the travel company had gone into receivership.

“After we touched down though the crew were visibly upset. One of the air hostesses had tears in her eyes when we got off the plane and we saw others hugging each other.

“The Captain came and stood at the exit with the crew and every passenger who got off the plane wished them well. It was heartbreaking.”

The funds involved were £400m owed by the UK for a decades-old tank sale. In return, the Iranian foreign minister said he was prepared to argue for Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s release at an Iranian court.
