Sunset 8 May 2021 - Emma Smyth

So many times over the years I’ve watched the Humber Bridge fade away in the rear view mirror and yet today, as the darkness rolled in, the Bridge became clearer. The gateway to my hometown, welcoming me, reminding me of why I’m here.

In a world of uncertainty, another day dawned!

I wonder if anyone saw me keeping watch other than the birds at my eye level. William Wilberforce was facing away but I shared his view today.

Who knew buses ran so early?!!! Seriously, I am not a morning person. I have seen many sunsets and not that many sunrises.

I’ve been to many vigils in my 55 years. They’re a time to contemplate, reflect and maybe think about possibilities.

Sunset 5 May 2021 - Sally Currie

I saw someone watching me so I watched them. Most of the other people I saw did not look up at all. I also saw a lot of clouds of many different shapes and formations. So that was good. Red sky at night is shepherd’s delight.

I was initially surprised how ‘beautiful’ the pod actually was. The view over the city is incredible. I worked for over 20 years at the Old Queens Gardens police station so lots of memories here.

Stillness. A passive participation. Taking in the view that Wilberforce sees daily. Thinking about the past and looking towards the future. The ferry coming in to port. Taking and embracing the moment that the VIGIL has given me. LOVE HULL.

Standing towards the east I was pleased how far I could see. The furthest buildings were the three flats on Valiant Drive, Bilton Grange Estate. Those linked me to my Grandfather who was a trawlerman.
