BRITAIN-OFFBEAT-TRADITION-BONFIRE
Spectators use smartphones to photograph an effigy depicting Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron as it is paraded through the streets of Lewes in Sussex, southern England on November 5, 2015, during the traditional Bonfire Night celebrations. Bonfire Night is related to the ancient festival of Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Processions held across the South of England culminate in Lewes on November 5, commemorating the memory of the seventeen Protestant martyrs. Thousands of people attend the parade through the narrow streets until the evening comes to an end with the burning of an effigy, or 'guy,' usually representing Guy Fawkes, who died in 1605 after an unsuccessful attempt to blow up The Houses of Parliament.
