Do you know who Sir Edmund Hillary is? Sir Edmund Hillary is a really famous kiwi because he was the first person in the world to climb the highest mountain in the world (Mount Everest). He was born on 20th July 1919 in Auckland. In 1995 Sir Edmund Hillary got rewarded the order of garter by Queen Elizabeth II.
Sir Edmund Hillary died in 2009. At Sir Edmund Hillary's memorial we saw him go past in his coffon it was sad to see him die.When he was in the memorial, me, my mum, dad and two brothers saw people take Sir Edmund Hillary out of the memorial. While they were carrying him in the coffin, lots of people were crying to see how sad it was for them. He will always be remembered for his amazing achievements climbing the highest mountain (Mount Everest).
