Every year on November 5th, all of the United Kingdom come together to celebrate Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night. It was so lovely cuddling up in all our cosy coats, watching the fireworks explode above us. There was also a massive carnival across from where we watched the display. For everyone back home, the history behind this famous evening includes the arresting of member of the Gunpowder Plot, Guy Fawkes, while he was guarding explosives that were plotted to be placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James survived this assassination attempt, people lit bonfires around London, and years later it was made a National celebration day.
