In previous days, chaotic scenes at the American embassy had provided the most iconic images of this final act of the Vietnam War.
Thousands of locals who had reason to fear the victors begged and fought to be allowed aboard the last U.S. helicopters taking a lucky few from the embassy roof to navy vessels lying offshore.

Rory MacPherson
Rory MacPherson, who has died aged 85, was diplomatic correspondent and a newscaster for ITN during its heyday in the 1970s.
Before the arrival of Anna Ford in 1978, Richard Ingrams lamented in The Spectator: “Like the member of some agreeable old club which has decided finally to let women in, I have been savouring the last days of the all-male ITN … There may be only a few days left in which to enjoy the last news bulletins not to be read out by high-pitched women, but by nice quietly-spoken, soothing gentlemen with the right sort of accents like Reggie Bosanquet, Sandy Gall and Rory MacPherson.”
