Ryan Harrison, 28, was given the foil 'It’s a Boy' balloon from his grandmother Josephine, now 82, when he was born in Oxford in 1992. Josephine gave the balloon as a gift when he was bornHis find has overtaken what was previously dubbed the oldest balloon, which had remained inflated for 26 years. In 2013, Shaun and Lisa Cunliffe discovered a balloon given to her daughter Jessica when she was born in 1995 - meaning it remained inflated for 18 years. The circular silver balloon had a teddy bear printed on the front with the message: 'It's a GIRL!'.
