Guy Fawkes Night (5th November)

Yesterday was the Guy Fawkes Night or shorter Bonfire night, an anual traditional celebration across the country. According to the historical origen, there ware a local group of Catholic conspirators who attemping to blow up the Houses of the Parliament in London with the intention of assassinate King James I of England and VI of Scontland and most of the Protestant aristocracy during the State Opening. This fact is known as Gunpowder Plot and it took place in 1605.
On this date, fireworks are displayed and people build bonfires on which traditionally guys are burnt, although nowadays this practice is dissapearing. There're lots of traditional food, such as:
toffee apples, jacket potatoes, potato pie, parkin, bonfire toffee, and so on. But we had for dinner fish and chips, susages and mushroom & chicken pie. I could see the fireworks on the news and hear them.

And at the end this is a traditional song that i've found, it goes:

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him? Burn him!
