An evening of illuminated skies, sparklers and organised displays will be beckoning for some while others among you might just be enjoying a quite celebration of November 5 at home.
Whatever you plan to do, you can enjoy the occasion by seeing if you can spot a familiar face from previous Bonfire Nights.
