To erase it

I am confused with the following sentences.
In #1, which is acceptable, his or their?
In #2, should it be added an it in the blank?

1. Everyone has ___________ own unforgettable experience, including me. ( his, their )
2. I can't forget it because it was so difficult to erase ______ from my memory.

#1-- 'His' is formal; 'their' is informal. #2-- 'It' is optional, but it is better to omit it here, since there are two other 'it's in the sentence.
