The night concluded with a fireworks show above the water.

"Glittering above the Caribbean, the exploding light display was a wonderful way to cap off another birthday to remember for both mum and me," Branson wrote.

Branson says there was one more surprise at the party, which he promises to reveal on his blog tomorrow. We can only imagine what that means.
