It is an annual celebration observed onNovember 5 for more than 400 years followingthe Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when 13 conspiratorsplanned to blow up Parliament and kill KingJames I.

Fawkes was arrested while guarding explosivesthe plotters had placed beneath the House ofLords.

People in London lit bonfires to celebrate thefailure of the plot, and an act of Parliament waspassed to appoint the date as a day ofthanksgiving for the "joyful deliverance of JamesI". This act remained in force for 254 years, until1859.

To mark the occasion, here are 10 facts aboutGuy Fawkes, gunpowder and fireworks:

1. Political protesters sometimes wear Guy Fawkes masks to protect their identity. You might recognize these masks if youve seen the film V for Vendetta, which is very loosely based on the story of Guy Fawkes.

2. The only place in the UK that does notcelebrate Guy Fawkes Night is St. PetersSchool in York. Guy Fawkes went there asa boy and they refuse to burn his imagein respect for their former pupil.

3. Guy Fawkes wasnt the mainconspirator in the Gunpowder Plot, buthe had one of the most importantroles. He guarded the gunpowderunderneath the Houses of Parliament,and had he not been caught, he wouldhave been charged with lighting it.

4. Physicists from the Institute of Physicshave calculated that the 2,500kg ofgunpowder Fawkes hid would havewreaked damage almost 500 metresfrom the centre of the explosion.

5. Fireworks were invented when aChinese cook accidentally discoveredhow to make explosive black powder -the early origin of gunpowder - duringthe 10th century. The cook accidentallymixed three common kitcheningredients. The result was colourfulflames.

6. Fireworks arrived in Europe in the 14thcentury and were first produced by theItalians. The first recorded display wasin Florence. The first recorded fireworksin England were at the wedding of KingHenry VII in 1486.

7. Dummies have been burned onbonfires since as long ago as the 13thcentury, initially to drive away evil

spirits. Following the gunpowder plot of1605, the focus of the sacrifices switched toGuy Fawkes' treason.

8. It is said that the word guy actually comesfrom the name Guy Fawkes. It originallymeant an ugly, repulsive person but,throughout the years, simply became asynonym for man.

9. One suggested origin for the word bonfireis that derives from 'bone-fire', and comesfrom a time when the bodies of witches,heretics and other misfits were burnedinstead of being buried in holy ground.

10. The Houses of Parliament are still searchedby the Yeomen of the Guard before thestate opening which has been held inNovember since 1928. The idea is to ensureno modern-day Guy Fawkes is concealed inthe cellars.
