GUY FAWKES DAY - ENGLAND

BONFIRE  NIGHT

Bonfire Night is a uniquely British event when we "celebrate" the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot against the King and Parliament in the early 17th Century. In fact, nobody cares about the origins of the celebration any more, but we all enjoy a good bonfire, firework display, and sausages on the 5th November each year!


Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot,
We see no reason,
Why gunpowder treason,
Should ever be forgot!
