So with no 4th of July to shoot off fireworks they use Guy Fawkes Day as the official fireworks and bon fire extravaganza holiday. It was so different wearing a coat and scarf while watching fireworks....but we did get mulled wine!!!
In case you are not up on British History Guy Fawkes was part of the plot to blowup Parliament and restore a catholic monarch to the throne in 1605 and is where the saying "remember remember the 5th of November" come from. Since then they burn an effigy of Fawkes on a Bonfire each year to remember the event.
The Fireworks show was GREAT and set to music (they did not play the usual firework classics...god bless america or star spangled banner however)
