Remember, remember the 5th November.
Guy Fawkes night also known as Bonfire night is a night of fun, with sparklers, fireworks and bonfire. It also lands on Friday this year, which means families can stay out a little longer to watch the fireworks.
Bonfire Night is memorialised because the day originates from the fifth year of the seventeenth century to the Gunpowder Plot. In November, 1605 certain Catholic fanatics rebelled against the Monarchy in protest against the mistreatment of Catholics.

Some men sought revenge by detonating explosives at the Houses of Parliament, the weapon to be used for the deed were barrels of gunpowder situated underneath the house.
They were to be ignited while the king and other representatives were in the confines of parliament.
The action was then aborted when the police discovered the scheme before Guy Fawkes could blast off the gunpowder. It’s rumoured that the failed Gunpowder Plot was due to squabbles among the planners.
With the history lesson aside, here’s how you can claim your free burger.
