Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night, is an annual commemoration observed on November 5, primarily in Great Britain. On  November 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was caught guarding explosives placed beneath the House of Lords and arrested. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London.
