Remember Remember The 5th of November

It's Bonfire Night here in the UK. Only us Brits could celebrate the anniversary of someone trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
I Googled Guy Fawkes (he who tried to blow it up) and came up with this - an origami Guy Fawkes Mask. I then noticed that the rose is also origami. These are by Brian Chan - go and see his other beautiful work.

There's no accounting for cultural tradition in the UK. The Queen's official bodyguard (Yeoman of the Guard) still search the vaults of parliament for plotters before the state opening each November.
