Bonfire Night Fireworks


Every November 5th in the UK is Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes, in celebration of the failed plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605.  The original history often gets lost in today's bonfires and fireworks.  Ryan's school hosts an annual fireworks show and BBQ the Sunday after Guy Fawkes.  It caps a 3-week run-up of nightly fireworks in London, starting before Halloween.
