Branson family picture of Necker Island blaze

Sir Richard Branson says his family are "truly moved" by messages of support after fire broke out destroying their luxury Caribbean home. Twenty people escaped unhurt from the eight-room house on Necker Island when lightning struck in a tropical storm. Sir Richard, head of Virgin Group, said messages from people around the world had been "incredible" and his family had been "counting their blessings". He also insisted his daughter, Holly, would still be married on the island. The 29-year-old had been staying at the property, named the Great House, with Sir Richard's 90-year-old mother, Eve, when it caught light in the early hours of Monday.
