Happy Birthday to Her Majesty the Queen on her official Birthday.

Do keep this date in mind if you plan to visit Buckingham Palace as it is likely to show signs of celebration. Same goes for any of her other residences including Windsor Castle and Sandringham Palace.

Guy Fawkes was a member of a Roman Catholic group who planned to blow up parliament to dissolve the regime. As a result we celebrate the 5th November as Bon Fire Night. Many Places through huge firework displays and Theme Parks often have special nights.

Children often dress up a “guy” and will ask for a penny for the guy. It is traditional to give them some money.

Much has been done to celebrate this day including having verses written. The most popular perhaps being:-

“Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.”
