Five year old Rylee Stevenson from St. Aloysius Primary School was the lucky winner and his light was illuminated at the spectacular annual Christmas Lights Switch On in Market Square.

Rylee designed a beautiful Christmas tree, which is currently on display outside the Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum for everyone to see. Part of his prize included a treat for him and his family to visit Mauds, Antrim Street.
