Sir Richard Branson has thanked actress Kate Winslet for helping to rescue his 90-year-old mother from his burning Caribbean home.
The Oscar-winning star was among 20 guests who escaped the blaze, which was sparked by lightning during a tropical storm.
Sir Richard was staying at another property around 100 yards away with his wife Joan and 25-year-old son Sam when the fire took hold.
The Virgin Group boss said Sam, his nephew Jack and Winslet all rushed to the aid of other guests at the so-called Great House on Necker, one of the British Virgin Islands.
