Traditional old British Customs,Festivities and events - Guy Fawkes - Bonfire Night Celebration (5th November) in Britain in 1849. The festivity still takes & involves the lighting of fireworks and the burning of bonfires, with children dressing up a Guy Fawkes figure ready for burning on the bonfire having sometimes paraded it around the streets or perhaps standing on a street corner to collect money to buy fireworks, saying ' Penny for the Guy' (though expecting more for a donation) to passers-by. Guy or Guido Fawkes was involved in the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to blow up Parliament .
