PHOTO GALLERY: Flamed torches light English streets during the bonfire celebration




Revellers carry their torches through the streets of Lewes, in east Sussex, southern England, during the traditional Bonfire Night celebrations. Thousands of people attend the annual parade through the narrow streets until the evening comes to an end with the burning of an effigy or "guy", usually representing Guy Fawkes, who died in 1605 after an unsuccessful attempt to blow up The Houses of Parliament.
