http://www.guy-fawkes.com is an educational website of history and legend behind Guy Fawkes, The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and why we celebrate Bonfire Night with Fireworks on November 5th.
In 1605, Guy Fawkes and a group of co-conspirators attempted to blow up King James 1 and the Houses of Parliament in what has become known as the Gunpowder Plot. Before they were able to carry out their plan they were caught, and subsequently tortured and executed.

Every year since then on November the 5th, we have traditionally celebrated his notorious treasonous Gunpowder Plot failure by letting off fireworks and burning an effigy of 'Guy' on a bonfire. Lots of details and information is available on http://www.bonfire-night.com
http://www.guyfawkesnight.com provides a general overview of the legend and history behind 'Bonfire Night', why and how it is celebrated today and of course, the story behind Guy Fawkes.
http://www.fireworks-night.co.uk has details of the Firework Safety Code for your guidance as does http://www.guy-fawkes.com/TheFireworkSafetyCode.html
Have a great Guy Fawkes, Bonfire Night and a safe Fireworks Night!
