Remember, Remember the fifth of November? Strangely enough it celebrates what we would today call an act of terrorism. Back in there was a failed assassination attempt to kill the King and members of Parliament. The plot was to use gunpowder to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening. It is often referred to as the Gunpowder plot. Catesby had many fellow plotters, but in charge of the explosives was an experienced military man called Guy Fawkes. There was an anonymous letter sent to the authorities telling of the plan and when the House of Lords was searched on 5th November they found Guy Fawkes and 36 barrels of gunpowder — enough to flatten the entire building. King James was so happy to survive he told his subjects to light large bonfires to celebrate. Many of us still celebrate the date with bonfires and gunpowder — as fireworks on Bonfire Night. In it was the th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot and the Royal Mint commemorated the event with a two pound coin.
