In the UK, particularly in England the 5th of November is still commemorated each year with fireworks and bonfires culminating with the burning of effigies of Guy Fawkes (the guy). The 'guys' are made by children by filling old clothes with crumpled newspapers to look like a man. Tradition allows British children to display their 'guys' to passers-by and asking for " A penny for the guy".
This video outlines the Guy Fawkes tradition (it's designed for 'English as a foreign language' students - so bear with it!)
The tradition and the 'Remember, remember' rhyme serves as a warning to each new generation that treason will never be forgotten.
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
