Commenting at the event on Tuesday, Lib Dem Cabinet member for Regeneration and Borough Councillor for Kingsthorpe, Richard Church, said:
"The lights look great and really show off the square's beautiful, old buildings.
"They are a welcome step on the road to transforming the square, over time, into a civic space, full of cafes and bars, used into the evenings and at weekends."
