Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night and Fireworks Night, is celebrated annually on November 5th in the UK. It commemorates the failed attempt by Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. The night is marked by lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks across the nation. The easiest way to recall the date is with the famous nursery rhyme: "Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot. We see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot".
