Do not miss the spectacular fireworks
display tonight (5th Nov 2014) in London! Today is Guy Fawkes Night or
Bonfire Night as it may also be known. Thanks to Guy Fawkes, a man who
wanted to blow up the House of Parliament together with the King, we
have a reason to set off the fireworks and light the bonfires. It all
started back in 1605, when a group of Catholic conspirators decided to
get rid of King James I by placing barrels of gunpowder in the cellar
right under the House of Lords. The violet plot was discovered and the
conspirator’s plan failed. Guy Fawkes was tortured and executed for this
attempt to kill the king. Happy people went to London streets and lit
the bonfires in order to celebrate their king’s survival. Since then,
every year on the 5th of November it became a tradition to set alight
bonfires and display fireworks throughout Great Britain.
So tonight is the fireworks night.
London organizes many bonfires and firework displays across the city. No
matter where you are going to enjoy the colourful blinding lights, you
will definitely have a jolly time. The most famous places to go are
Southwark Park, Crystal Palace and Wimbledon Park. There you also can
treat yourself with hot food, drinks, and dance to cheerful music.
Another popular place is the Parliament Hill in Hampstead; from there
you can watch several fireworks set from all sides around London.
Remember, remember the fifth of
November! In fact, when you go to watch the fireworks, live your dog at
home and don’t take any alcohol with you as it is prohibited. After the
spectacular night have a good rest in your warm and cosy apartment
