RIP Sir Edmund Hillary
Can't believe no one's posted about this yet.

Unfortunately I won't be able to pay my respects since Auckland is on the other side of the country.

State funeral's gonna be all over the TV, flags everywhere are at half mast. 88 years was a good innings though.

Re: RIP Sir Edmund Hillary
A kiwi hero who conquered Everest and stood on both poles along with doing countless other things is hardly trivial
