On the 5th of November people across the

country celebrate Bonfire Night.

There are small fireworks parties in back


gardens along with big firework displays in public
parks.

The reason we celebrate is because it's the


anniversary of an attempt to blow up the Houses
of Parliament by a man called Guy Fawkes.

Guy Fawkes and some other men put 36 barrels


of gunpowder under the Houses of Parliament in
London, ready to set off a massive explosion.

One member of the group sent a letter to his


friend who worked in Parliament, warning him to
stay away on November 5th.

The King found the letter. The Houses of


Parliament were saved!
