It is a sad day for all Kiwis today as Sir Edmund Hillary passed away this morning (Friday 11th January) in Auckland Hospital, Auckland. He was 88 years old. He was a great New Zealand icon.
He put New Zealand on the map when he conquered Mount Everest in 1953.
Sir Edmund was a well liked and humble man who devoted most of his life to charity work and his adventures.
He will be missed by all New Zealanders and all those who knew him.
