Bonfire Night London


London's firework displays on 5th November, Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes' Night



V for Vendetta :

Remember, remember
The Fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot. 

On that night in 1605, Guy Fawkes and co-conspirators attempted, unsuccessfully, to blow up Parliament in response to the tyranny of their Government under King James 1. Fawkes and all that were caught were hanged.
