Bond Firenite - Guy Fawkes Night
On November 5th every year in the UK, there is a celebration called Bond Firenite, Guy Fawkes night. This evening is celebrated with people making a huge fire, a Bond Fire. On top of that fire is placed an effigy, a fake copy of a man called the Guy and then there's normally a big fireworks display. The tradition stretches back over 400 years now, to November 1605, to an event that nearly changed the fate of British history forever.
