I guess the most 'memorable' one will be the image of the burning towers of the World Trade Centre. Which others do you think are very iconic? St Pauls in the blitz? Fall of the Berlin wall? Naked girl running away from the napalm attack in Vietnam? Bloke in China holding a white flag in front of a column of tanks?

The most iconic? The images in Vietnam are without a doubt the most iconic. There are three of them:
1. The naked little girl running from napalm
2. A Viet-Cong with a gun at his head, about to be shot
3. A monk self-immolating to protest the war
In terms of the photos that had the most effect? The shots of the dead bodies at Antietam (Sharpesburg) during the Civil War were some of the most gruesome and gut-wrenching ever produced, and they taught the American media not to publish photos of dead soldiers. This idea held all the way to Vietnam.

Any pictures of starving people in Africa, any of those would be iconic!
