Remember, remember...the 4th of November?
Guy Fawkes was actually discovered on the night of 4 November, during a search of the cellars under Parliament. He was carrying a lantern, a pocket watch and matches.

36 barrels of gunpowder were found under a pile of firewood. Fawkes was taken to King James I on the morning of the 5 November and then sent to @TowerOfLondon for interrogation. After days of torture, Fawkes eventually began to name the other conspirators.

In 1606, Parliament passed the Thanksgiving Act calling for an annual thanksgiving for the failure of the plot.
Parliament is still searched by the Yeomen of the Guard before the State Opening of Parliament to ensure no latter-day Guy Fawkes is hiding in the cellars. #GuyFawkes
