Guy Fawkes (Quickpost)

November 6, 2008

Really, really wanted to do Guy Fawkes justice, but the clock has run out on my day I’m afraid. From wikipedia:

Fawkes has left a lasting mark on history and popular culture. Bonfire Night is a commemorative celebration held in Great Britain (also occasionally in Northern Ireland) and some parts of the Commonwealth on November 5 in which people have large bonfires and let off fireworks. Fawkes has been mentioned in popular film, literature and music by people such as Charles Dickens and John Lennon. There are geographical locations named after Fawkes, such as Isla Guy Fawkes in the Galápagos Islands and Guy Fawkes River in Australia.

Remember remember the fifth of November with Guy Fawkes on Twitter.
