![Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder treason ad plot.
I know of no reason, why that gunpowder treason, should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes Night (also known as Bonfire Night, Cracker Night, Fireworks Night) is an annual celebration on the evening of the 5th of November. It celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of the 5th of November, 1605 in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, were alleged to be attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, England.
It is primarily marked in the United Kingdom where it was compulsory, by fiat, to celebrate the deliverance of the King until 1859, but also in former British colonies including New Zealand, parts of Canada, and parts of the British Caribbean. Bonfire Night is also common in Australi, but is held on the Queen's Birthday long weekend in June in some states (e.g., New South Wales) and 5 November in others (e.g., Victoria). It is also celebrated in the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda.[1] Festivities are centred on the use of fireworks and the lighting of bonfires.](http://cdn08.dayviews.com/39/_u3/_u1/_u3/_u3/_u4/u313342/71561_1225924376/Remember_remember_the_fifth_of_November_gunpowder_treason_ad_plot_I_know_of_no_reason_why_that.jpg)
