This year, revelers will gather across Britain - most notably in Lewes, a town once known as a hotbed of anti-Catholicism sentiment that throws one of the British Isles' biggest conflagrations - and in nations ranging from South Africa and Canada to New Zealand and Australia. Guards will also perform the annual search -more pageantry than precaution-of the Houses of Parliament to ensure no would-be Fawkes is lurking.
