Crowds of people lined the streets of Lewes as the town’s bonfire societies marched with burning torches for Guy Fawkes Night. Tens of thousands of people were expected to turn out for the annual celebrations, a tradition still very much alive since the first recorded event in 1795.

Lewes Bonfire Night is one of the most famous in the UK. Attracting thousands of people every year, the tradition sees effigies of contraversial politicians and celebrities paraded through the narrow streets of the East Sussex town before being burned in front of crowds of spectators.
