A publicity stunt that saw a 100ft image of Sir Richard Branson's face beamed on to Sydney Harbour Bridge has caused a stir in Australia.

The Virgin boss staged the stunt on Wednesday in a bid to wind up Australian cricket fans as the first Ashes Test began.

The huge image, featuring Sir Richard's face painted with the cross of St George, carried the slogan "Good luck Ricky - you'll need it. Dicky x".
