A revamped Alhambra theatre looked magnificent last night when panto star Billy Pearce switched on its new exterior lights.
The Bradford landmark, pictured, was lit by 1,174 new light bulbs, part of its £250,000 facelift.
The low-wattage bulbs are the same make as those on the outside of world famous London store Harrods.
The revamp, which has taken 23 weeks, also included painting the building to restore it to its former glory.
The work has been funded by Bradford Council and the switch-on was attended by the Council's Executive member for the environment and culture, Councillor Anne Hawkesworth (Con, Ilkley).
Billy will soon be in rehearsals for the Alhambra's forthcoming pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Also starring will be Malandra Burrows, who played Kathy in TV soap Emmerdale.
