Guy Fawkes Day - Remember remember the 5th of November

An English holiday falling in November is Guy Fawkes day. November the 5th is Guy Fawkes day. There's a song my sister and I used to sing 'remember remember the 5th of November.'
The history behind this is that Guy Fawkes planned the gunpowder plot which actually failed. See this link for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes

On this day - people light bonfires and some people make up a human-appearing figure (acting as Guy Fawkes) which they burn that evening. There are as many fireworks on that day as on New Years eve.
