I caught the last 45 minutes or so on the BBC website; it was just
about 00:20 when coverage closed but I think events in the stadium may
have finished a minute or two earlier.


The TV pictures towards the end showed about a quarter of the seats

Very likely. They probably thought they could beat the crowds by

Maybe they wanted to miss the speeches, too?
