- Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.
Several websites cite it as a holiday to celebrate the survival of King James I during the terrorist attack on the Houses of Parliament. | |
