It is just after 8am on Tuesday morning and I m standing in a box on the roof of Hull College.
It s a moody day with the sun struggling to break through the clouds but I m in my own little heaven, one of the first people to have the opportunity to take part in the Hull Vigil.

The Hull Vigil: Glass box artwork to remember the city
Close
Hundreds of people have signed up to spend an hour in a glass-fronted box, high above the city of Hull, as part of a year-long art project.
The Hull Vigil will involve two people a day - one at sunrise and one at sunset - standing in the box on top of a building.
They are being encouraged to take stock after the past year that has been dominated by the pandemic. But, there is one rule.
Published
A year-long artistic project in Hull that will see hundreds of people spending an hour alone in a glass box on top of one of the tallest buildings in the city has got under way.
The Vigil will see participants keep a solitary, silent watch, without a phone or camera, from the roof of Hull College, at sunrise and sunset every day until May 3 2022.
A total of 730 people will take part in the performance, which is the first of its kind to be held in the UK.
The Vigil is a large-scale work by choreographer Joanne Leighton, from the Paris-based performing arts company WLDN, and has been running continuously in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria over the last eight years.
