You need to go read a history book. Answer these:
Why is there a bonfire night?
What does it celebrate?
Why is there a banner naming the 16 martyrs burned alive?
What religion were those martyrs?
A member of the society was on TV refuting Anne Widdecombe's condemnation of this event. He made no apologies for commemorating the events of 1605, the burning of Protestant martyrs and Englands freedom from Rome. Thankfully someone knows what the celebrations are about.

@MrAndrelicious You can go and watch the parades and fireworks for free from the streets or you can pay for membership and march in the parades. If you want to be closer to the fireworks you can pay (£3-7) to go into the firesite and sit closer to the bonfire.

@MrAndrelicious its not free but you can participate if you pay membership (badge night) on the 4th

@ornkmd I wish I was there. Have a great night. I really miss Nov 5th. They dont celebrate it here in Aus. :(

@BurnThePope1605 It has everything to do with religion. The Martyrs were in fact Protestants and they were martyred because they refused to convert to Catholicism under Queen Mary's reign in the 16th century.

@GaraGambini its just tradition, there is no sectarianism in this town but the more we move into this ever increasing nanny/p.c./no fun society the more there are comment on the subject, by the 6th nov its all forgotten about except the clear up.

@satoterror It has nothing to do with religion, we carry 17 burning crosses through the town in memory of the 17 matyrs who were burnt to death in the town in the 17th century.
