Title

There is often debate over on Wikipedia about the name of this event. At the moment, they've gone for 'Guy Fawkes Night' over 'Bonfire Night' and 'Fireworks Night'. My experience is that in the UK it is usually called Bonfire Night, sometimes Fireworks Night, and not-very-often Guy Fawkes Night, so I have gone for the bonfire title here.
