Sequence

Colour Lights the sky Sparkling flashes Noise of firework display - Guy Fawkes* Beneath House of Lords - Gunpowder plot Failed to assassinate King James * failed in an attempt to kill the king and restore a catholic monarch to the throne of UK. Nov 5th is bonfire night where an effigy ( a guy) is burnt in every town and most houses. Children ask for a penny for the guy, night enjoyed by all.
