It is a question of the sky. That moment in the morning when grey gives in to the brightness of blue and white and green and red, and the birds sing hosannah! allelujah! hail the coming of the light!

Two main hashtags have been used to refer to it on Twitter; #REF and the more popular (“official”?) #REF2014. There’s been of course other variations of these hashtags, including discussion about it not ‘hashing’ the term REF at all.
