Thousands are expected at the annual bonfire event in Lewes, East Sussex, featuring processions from six historic bonfire societies. Attendees will witness the spectacle of effigies, including past figures like Rishi Sunak and Joe Biden. Sussex Police warn that non-locals should avoid the event due to safety concerns in the town’s narrow streets. This celebration, rooted in Guy Fawkes history, also honors 17 martyrs from the reign of Mary I. While the tradition continues to thrive, organizers stress the importance of safety amid the festive atmosphere.
