Our Nepal Travel Diary writer Charlotte Harnby sent this picture of Sir Edmund Hillary, taken at last night's 50th Anniversary of Everest Ascent celebrations.
She wrote: 'The photo of Edmund Hillary was taken last night when we saw him as part of the Everest celebrations. Sadly we didn't actually meet him, he was completely surrounded by press and other mountaineers but he is held in great regard here, his achievement and generosity are legendary.'
