'''Bonfire Night''', on the 5th [[November]], is celebrated in [[Great Britain]] with [[bonfires]] and fireworks to commemorate the foiling of the [[Gunpowder Plot]] in 1605. Effigies of [[Guy Fawkes]], one of the plotters, are commonly burned on bonfires; in the days (or weeks) prior to 5 November, British children display these effigies in the streets and seek money for fireworks with the words "Penny for the Guy". In south-east [[England]], particularly in the county of [[Sussex]] (formerly a radical protestant area), Bonfire Societies are a strong local tradition: these compete to have the most impressive bonfires, firework displays and parades. These reach a climax in the town of Lewes, East Sussex, where parades and bonfires are held simultaneously by a number of societies.<ref>http://www.lewesbonfirecouncil.org.uk/index.html</ref> The Lewes celebrations have caused controversy in recent years through the perpetuation by one society of its tradition of burning an effigy of the [[Pope]], and by the carrying of 'No Popery' banners.
