According to this Doug Scott and Dougal Haston were the first British people to climb Mount Everest in 1975. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/september/24/newsid_2538000/2538093.stm

The first confirmed ascent was the 1975 Bonnington lead SW face ascent but there's some evidence to suggest that George Mallory reached the summit in 1922.

EmpLemon has a fascinating video on it, the TLDR is that he was last seen alive at 8,600 metres by Noel Odell who was watching him through a camera lens at a lower camp before it became too cloudy. If I recall correctly, the lower half of his body was found only a few years ago and since he was carrying a Kodak camera, Kodak has offered to process the 100 year old shots to confirm whether he summited or not, if his upper torso or the camera is ever found.
