Richard Branson, the 75-year-old founder of Virgin Group, has shared touching photos from a recent trip to Venice with his children Holly and Sam. The trip was originally planned with his late wife, Joan, who passed away in November 2025.

Remembering Joan Branson

Joan Branson, aged 80, died at The Lister Hospital on November 24, 2025, due to complications from a back injury sustained in a fall. Richard Branson announced her death last year, and the family has been grieving her loss.

A Family Trip to Venice

On Friday, Richard took to Instagram to share photos of his time in Venice with Holly, 44, and Sam, 41. The images capture the trio exploring the picturesque Italian city, a trip that was meant to be a family vacation with Joan.

Inquest into Joan's Death

A pre-inquest hearing has revealed that the Branson family, including Richard and their children, are not seeking to assign blame for Joan's death. The full inquest into her passing is scheduled for September this year.
