Remember, remember the fifth of November ๐! Bonfire Night marks the evening when Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But DID YOU KNOW that until 1959 it was illegal to NOT celebrate Bonfire Night in Britain!? During this time there was only ONE place in the UK that refused to celebrate the failed attempt. St Peterโs School in York, in respect to their alumni, where Guy Fawkes attended, where excused from burning a photo of its former pupil.
