Guy Fawkes Day

The video discusses how Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated in Lingfield and Blackpool. In Lingfield, the day is used to symbolically burn the 'road hog,' considered public enemy number one. The celebration includes a torchlight procession. In Blackpool, the focus shifts to Mr. Bodyline, who replaces Guy Fawkes as the target of public disdain.
