Good pics all
I'd like to go to one of these big Kent/Sussex displays where they burn effigies - there was one a few years ago where it was a Pikey caravan

Personally I believe Guy Fawkes was born 400 years too soon

Hackivists set up Guy Fawkes protest
A series of website hacks over the past 24 hours has been attributed to the online hacktivist group Anonymous.
The websites of US broadcaster NBC, pop singer Lady Gaga and the Australian government have all been attacked.
Some of the hacked websites displayed a rhyme about 5 November, when Guy Fawkes's attempt to destroy Parliament in 1605 is marked in the UK.
Paypal and security firm Symantec said they were investigating whether they had also been compromised.
Both companies have been linked to the latest attacks, in various online reports.
Paypal said it had "no evidence" of a security breach, but a list of nearly 28,000 passwords claiming to belong to Paypal accounts was posted online overnight.
"Paypal hacked by Anonymous as part of our November 5th protest," read a tweet by the collective, along with a link to the passwords, which has now been taken down.
Symantec said it took "each and every claim" of an attack on its systems seriously.
"Our first priority is to make sure that any customer information remains protected," it said in a statement.

Looks like they burn an effigy of the Pope in Lewes
http://www.theargus.co.uk/yourargus/...fire/?ref=fetp
As the nights draw in and the autumn temperature drops, the night sky will soon be aglow with the flames and sparks of Bonfire Night.
Bonfires and parades will be taking place all over Sussex, but on Monday, November 5, the usually peaceful town of Lewes will be at the heart of the country’s anniversary celebrations marking the night in 1605 when Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators hatched the Gunpowder Plot and attempted to blow up Parliament at the Palace of Westminster.
Its legendary parades mark far more than the Gunpowder Plot. The Lewes Bonfire Night Celebrations also commemorate the 17 Protestant martyrs burnt at the stake in Lewes between 1555 and 1557 as the country struggled with the swing from the Protestantism of Henry VIII to the devout intention of his daughter, Queen Mary I, to restore Catholicism to England. Medieval heresy laws were reintroduced, which advocated burning as punishment, and “Bloody Mary”, as she became known, ignited the flames of hatred as she began her persecution of Protestants in 1555.
Over the next two years, about 275 people were killed, 17 of them in Lewes. The first was Deryk Carver, from Brighton, who was burnt in a barrel in 1555, and the last of the Martyrs of Sussex, Stephen Gratwick, also from Brighton, was burnt at the stake at St George’s Fields.
Those incendiary events from Tudor times are recalled each year in Lewes as 17 burning crosses, one for each of the Sussex Martyrs, are held aloft during the parade, along with an effigy of the Pope. Bonfire Society members create their own tableaux and costumes and the parade attracts thousands of visitors.

Well, that's one way of staying warm: Torchbearers light up Lewes in anti-papist parade on the coldest Guy Fawkes Night in 14 years
- Thousands line the streets to watch annual procession of flaming torches in event which traces its roots to the 16th century
- Just one of thousands of fireworks displays and events up and down the country
- But wrap up warm - forecasters say tonight will be the coldest Guy Fawkes Night in 14 years
- Disappointment for some in Essex, the Westcountry and Wales as torrential rain washes out events

Very cold in Wimbledon Park tonight but Merton Council laid on a good display to warm the crowd up. Little bit stiff at £8 a ticket though.
