What a ball it was. More than 3000 people attended and more than $1 million was raised for the Virgin Blue Charity Hangar Ball last Saturday. With Marcia Hines, Rogue Traders, Earthquake and Evermore providing the entertainment, and Catriona Rowntree as MC, it was some do. It was great to see Virgin boss Richard Branson (pictured) dressed in the Yuggera tribe costume, complete with traditional markings.

CC believe Richard turned the tables on the media when he took a Nikon camera and shot pics of the astounded photographers

There was another big surprise when he of the Peter Beattie split-watermelon grin, Mr Branson took off his expensive watch and offered it up for auction It fetched more than $50,000 but the bottom line it was all done for a good cause.
