So great to see another Kiwi legend honoured! Sir Ed is a true icon for us extremely proud New Zealanders. Just an added fact for you - his famous quote when he reached Mt Everest summit "we knocked the b@stard off"

Those of you saying it was phrased wrong are the ones who need to soul search a bit. Ask yourself honestly whether you really read the question.

I do believe a regular British TV doctor was named after him Dr Hillary Jones. You all feel a bit better knowing that don't you haha.

In the photo at the summit, Tenzing is photographed instead of Hillary because Tenzing did not know how to use the camera!

FragmentaryClearing8, The question was a bit ambiguous. It was asking who did all three.
