MOST of York's skyline was shaped over centuries. It took 250 years for the majestic Minster to rise.

The Yorkshire Wheel is in place. Wherever it is viewed, whether from Acomb as in our picture tonight, or from directly underneath at the National Railway Museum, it is a strikingly elegant structure.
Of course, the best views are yet to come. Next week residents and visitors can take a spin and see our ancient city from a brand new vantage point.
