1605 November 5th Gunpowder Plot

Firework Night

This isn't a War Memorial , I hear you shout!

Well War Memorials represent a way of remembering an event and the tradition of Bonfire Night was started as a way of remembering this act of terrorism or civil war and has continued through to today. I even went to one such an event in cyprus as this has spread throughout the Commonwealth.

I do not know of any physical memorial for this event, but that is not needed.

Next time you go to a firework party around this date please remember why!
