You want a clean amp (extra points for a Hiwatt but most things will do) and turn it up loud.
Then a BK Butler tube driver and/or a big muff, with some delay with medium feedback.
It is mostly how you play it though.

For general pub/function use a ballpark time will be fine - a fair bit of gain with a wee bit of delay and some reverb. There are lots of ways of achieving it. I used a clean boost on the gain channel of my Blackstar HT 50 with reverb and delay when I played it in a previous band.
The approach is more important than the precise tone. Target all those money shot bends and wring the notes out with loads of vibrato.
I've played it live (a lot better than at the N'hampton Jam... sorry chaps, poor performance that) using a RAT for drive and a Boss DSD2 for delay into a Laney Lionheart 20 head. Tbh, its more about the vibrato (finger and wang bar) to eek out each note.

but muff, eq, a chorusy flanger and a 150 delay into 600 will get you there. And volume.

Two Andertons videos on how to sound like David Gilmour.
Personally I wouldn't worry about the gear ..... it's all about the phrasing. I've recorded a couple of Pink Floyd tribute bands with Hi Watts and muffs and stuff and it was so so. Then I've watched a friend of mine play the song on a pub with a Les Paul and a Vox AD120 and he got the phrasing, bend accuracy and vibrato so spot on it just sounded completely right
There's post EQ and effect by Guthrie on the desk to help it sit in the mix and the second solo's comp'ed from a load of takes. When Gilmour played it live in more recent years the delays were ridden on certain phrases. It became a bit bombastic and overblown for me but the first solo is a thing of beauty
