Guy Fawkes, "the only man to ever enter parliament with honourable intentions," entered the Houses of Parliament intending to blow it up on 5 November 1605. In the land of Old Blighty, this day is commemorated at local parks around the city with a big mother of a bonfire and a fireworks display.
Unfortunately, there was no sight of a burning Guy effigy at the event I attended at Ravenscourt Park. The family friendly show offered festival food vendors selling hamburgers, hamburgers and more hamburgers. These were followed by a dessert of burnt, rather than toasted, marshmallows.
To the tune of The Prodigy’s “Firestarter,” the night was illuminated as the fireworks ignited the bonfire and the flames reached the sky.
