Hillary's own words, in Chapter 16 of "The Ascent of Everest" by the expedition leader John Hunt, are :-
". . . produced [my camera] and got Tenzing to pose on top for me, waving his axe on which was a string of flags - United Nations, British, Nepalese and Indian. Then I turned my attention to the surroundings . . ."
The flags were waved, not planted, and the book tells that after burying a few items in the snow, they left the summit clear.
