Guy Fawkes
On the 5th of November
every year, for the past 408 years, we celebrate Guy Fawkes, and let off
fireworks. We are remembering the time when the Gun Powder Plot failed. In
England Guy Fawkes and his friends tried to blow up the king and House of Lords
with gun powder. They tried to blow up the parliament because King James had
made a law that the people in England were not allowed to be Catholics. Guy
Fawkes was caught guarding the barrels of gunpowder in the basement under the
Parliament House in the early hours of the morning on the 5th of
November, 1605. Some of the gang escaped, but Guy Fawkes and those that were
caught were tortured and executed.
