Remember, remember the 5th of November. Guy Fawkes, a name synonymous with rebellion and intrigue. From the burning crosses at the annual bonfire night parade in Lewes to the capture of this infamous figure in 1605, his story has captivated generations. Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plotters sought to overthrow King James I by blowing up Parliament. Their plan was foiled when Guido Fawkes was discovered beneath Westminster Palace with barrels of gunpowder. The diptych depicting Queen Elizabeth I's arrival at Tilbury serves as a reminder of her victory over threats like these. The discovery of Guido Fawkes by Suffolk and Mounteagle is immortalized in John Leech's artwork from 1850. It captures the tension and drama surrounding this pivotal moment in history. A plot with powder indeed. Fast forward to more recent times, where we see participants in Lewes' bonfire night parade proudly carrying on traditions dating back centuries. Meanwhile, Chislehurst Bonfire ignites memories from 1934, reminding us that Guy Fawkes' legacy continues to burn bright. Even today, his presence can be felt on the streets of Cardiff as two lads create their own grumpy Guy for all to see. And who could forget Victoria Park's Smethwick celebration? Matthew Jones stands alongside others commemorating this historic event. As we peer into a jumble of small faces gazing at big bangers, let us not forget why we gather each year on November 5th – it is a time-honored tradition that reminds us never to take our freedoms for granted. This medal commemorates the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605; its intricate design symbolizes both remembrance and triumph over those who sought to undermine our democracy. So let us come together every year under starry skies, lighting up bonfires and fireworks, to celebrate the failure of Guy Fawkes' plot.
