All-night watch (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vigil

(Other definitions for vigil that I've seen before include "Staying awake to keep watch or pray" , "A period of staying awake as for prayer" , "The rite of staying awake for devotional purposes" , "Period of staying awake to watch or pray" , "observance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
