"Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot". Thus begins the old rhyme, and remember it we certainly do at the annual Bonfire Night. Every 5th November fires are lit across the country, fireworks blaze in abundance, and people (well some) recall the attempt in 1605 by Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators to blow up the House of Lords and kill all within. Quite a few bonfires still feature a figure or effigy of Guy Fawkes but this aspect of the celebration seems to be declining. Large, spectacular fireworks displays, however, are becoming ever more popular. The photographs above are a composite of a few I took at a fine display in Ross on Wye, Herefordshire.
