Every year people celebrate Bonfire Night with firework displays and blazing bonfires. It remembers an event which happened 400 years ago. A UK tradition that dates back to the gunpowder plot to blow up the houses of parliament by Guy Fawkes a few hundred years ago...Most people still build bonfires every year on the 5th of November, and set off lots of fireworks When i was a kid many years ago I caught fire and had a firecraker go off in my hand. Its a long story folks.
