Guy Fawkes

5th November is an important festivity in the Uk because people celebrate the failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament on the part of Guy Fawkes and other members in 1605. It is also called the Bonfire Night because bonfires are lit to burn the "Guy" - a kind of dummy that represents Fawkes.
