The English/British flag was placed on the summit of Mount Everest on the 24th September 1975 by Doug Scott who became the first British climber to reach the summit.
Many think that the British flag was placed at the summit by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953 but the only flags they had with them were United Nations, Nepal and a Indian flag.
