George Lamb collected the tickets after they were launched on a large meteorological balloon from Wembley’s centre circle.

The Football Association’s Twitter feed provided live updates of the balloon’s location using its GPS signal before it burst at a height of 18 miles and floated to the ground in Broad Oak on the Kent/East Sussex border.
