     I booked the tickets through lastminute.com and so far they have advised that the tickets were non refundable so I am awaiting a further update. 
    they are correct to a point, If the flight operated you have no right to a refund unless you had purchased a refundable fare type.
    Virgin are allowing rebooking or credit for situations where the passenger chooses not to travel. There is information on their website but you will need to deal with Lastminute as they will need to coordinate with the Virgin.
    If you want cash back then your insurance policy would be the place to check (you would lose the excess and the policy may not pay out if vouchers are offered)
    Oh dear, this will be the biggest hurdle to progress unless you have a package.
