On 5th November every year children in Great Britain get excited because it is Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes' Night). They lit bonfires and enjoy fireworks displays. On top of the fire is a guy (a homemade model of a man).
They do these things because they're remembering when the king of England, James I, and the House of Parliament were nearly blown up with gunpowder.
It took place four hundred years ago, in 1605. A man called Guy Fawkes and a group of plotters wanted to kill King James and the king's leaders.
