Palace of Westminster Bombs & Shooting
1605  Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot
.
Guy Fawkes
Guy Fawkes
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Success
Forget the American Haloween celebrations. In the United Kingdom, Gunpowder Plot celebrations take place in towns and villages across the country in the form of both private and civic events. They involve fireworks displays and the building of bonfires on which "guys" are burnt. These "guys" are traditionally effigies of Guy Fawkes, the most famous of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators. Although the night is celebrated in York (Fawkes' hometown) some there do not burn his effigy, most notably those from his old school.  Before the fifth, children traditionally use the "guys" to request a "penny for the guy" in order to raise funds with which to buy fireworks . In the United Kingdom, there are several foods that are traditionally consumed on Guy Fawkes Night: toffee apples, baked potatoes, which are wrapped in foil and cooked in the bonfire or its embers and black peas with vinegar . In the Black Country, it is a traditional night for eating groaty pudding.  In Sussex, it is a major festival that centres on Lewes necessitating the closure of the town centre. The night also commemorates the Glorious Revolution and 17 local Protestant martyrs that were burnt at the stake during Marian Persecutions of the Catholic Queen Mary I. The night begins with torchlight processions in costume by a number of local bonfire societies and culminates in six separate bonfires where effigies of Guy Fawkes, Pope Paul V and topical personalities are destroyed by firework and flame.

The Somerset Carnivals are highly regarded as the largest illuminated processions in the world. They occur late on in the year at various locations including: Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, Chard, Ilminster, Glastonbury, North Petherton, Shepton Mallet, Taunton, Wellington, Wells,  Weston-Super-Mare, and Yeovil.
The carnivals in Somerset date back to 400 years, and are one of the most spectacular events in Somerset today. In some of the bigger locations (such as Bridgwater), you can expect to see crowds of more than 120,000.

The carnival floats (or carts as they are sometimes referred as), are designed and built by dedicated carnival clubs around the West Country. These carnival clubs have many members who raise money throughout the year, and work relentlessly to achieve the spectacular carnival entries. The carnival floats take part in the carnival parade along with other entries; these range from clowns dancing in the streets to 100ft illuminated carnival floats (some with up to 30,000 light bulbs) pulle
d by tractors.
1812 PRIME MINISTER SHOT IN LOBBY OF HOUSE OF COMMONS
image 1

Spencer Perceval, the son of the 2nd Earl of Egmont, was born in 1762. After being educated at HarrowTrinity College, Cambridge, he became a lawyer.

In 1796 Perceval was elected MP for Northampton. In the House of Commons Perceval became a strong supporter of William Pitt and the Tory group in Parliament. When Henry Addington became Prime Minister in 1801 he appointed Perceval as his solicitor-general. The following year he was promoted to attorney-general.  When Lord Portland became Prime Minister in 1807 he appointed Perceval as his Chancellor of the Exchequer. Perceval got on well with George III and loyally supported the king's opposition to Catholic Emancipation.

When Portland died in 1809, Spencer Perceval accepted the king offer to become Prime Minister. Perceval's period of power coincided with an economic depression and considerable industrial unrest. This resulted in his government introducing repressive methods against the Luddites. This included the Frame-Breaking Act which made the destruction of machines a capital offence.  Perceval held the post until 1812  when he became the only British Prime Minister in history to be assassinated. Spencer Perceval was shot when entering the lobby of the House of Commons by John Bellingham, a failed businessman from Liverpool. Bellingham, who blamed Perceval for his financial difficulties, was later hanged for his crime.
 


THE OTHER BOMBS AT THE PALACE OF WESTMINSTER
 Hitler BombBombed House of Commons1941 Hitler Succeeded Where Guy Fawkes Failed
During the second world war, the Palace of Westminster was hit by bombs fourteen times. The most serious attack occurred on the night of 10-11 May 1941. On that night the Palace was severely damaged, the chamber of the House of Commons was destroyed and three people were killed. This picture below shows Members' Lobby looking through into the Commons Chamber.
Between 1940 and 1941, both Houses of Parliament were in fact convened at Church House in Westminster due to a fear that the Chambers might be bombed while the Houses were sitting. The Palace was damaged by air raids on fourteen different occasions during the war. On 26 September 1940, a bomb which fell into Old Palace Yard caused severe damage to the south wall of St Stephen's Porch and the masonry of the west front.
The statue of Richard the Lionheart was even lifted bodily from the pedestal, but sustained only minor damage in the form of a bent sword.On 8 December 1940, a bomb demolished the south and east sides of the Cloisters of St Stephen's and did considerable damage to the other two sides

The incendiary bombs which fell on the nights of 10 and 11 May 1941 caused the greatest damage to the Palace. The Commons Chamber was hit by bombs and the roof of Westminster Hall was set on fire. The fire service said that it would be impossible to save both, so it was decided to concentrate on saving the Hall.The Commons Chamber was entirely destroyed by the fire which spread to the Members' Lobby and caused the ceiling to collapse. By the following morning, all that was left of the Chamber was a smoking shell. A small bomb struck the Clock Tower and broke all the glass on its south face, but the clock and bells were undamaged and the chimes could be broadcast as usual.The House of Lords was struck by a bomb which passed through the floor of the Chamber without exploding.As the Commons Chamber was totally destroyed and the Lords Chamber was damaged, both Houses moved to the Church House annexe and sat there from 13 May.From late June 1941 until October 1950, the Commons met in the Lords Chamber, while the Lords met in the Robing Room (a fact which was kept secret during the war). To reach the temporary Commons Chamber in the Lords, the Speaker's Procession had to pass through the Central Lobby. This proved such a popular feature that the practice was retained after the Commons moved back to its new Chamber in 1950.


1974: IRA bombs parliament
17th June 1974 Bomb in ParliamentA bomb has exploded at the Houses of Parliament, causing extensive damage and injuring 11 people. The IRA said it planted the 20 lb (9.1 kg) device which exploded at about 0828 BST in a corner of Westminster Hall. The explosion is suspected to have fractured a gas main and a fierce fire spread quickly through the centuries-old hall in one of Britain's most closely-guarded buildings. Scotland Yard detectives have said they fear this attack could herald the start of a new summer offensive by the dissident Irish group on government buildings. A man with an Irish accent telephoned the Press Association with a warning only six minutes before the explosion. Police said a recognised IRA codeword was given.  Although officers were not able to completely clear the palace before the bomb went off, most of the injured were only slightly hurt. Leader of the Commons Edward Short announced a review of security procedures would begin immediately, but he said the attack would not disrupt parliamentary business or intimidate MPs. Liberal Chief Whip David Steel was in the building when the device detonated and told the BBC the damage looked considerable.  "I looked through Westminster Hall and the whole hall was filled with dust. A few minutes later it was possible to see flames shooting up through the windows," he said.
 
1974 was one of the deadliest years in the IRA's mainland bombing campaign. In February a bomb exploded on a coach carrying soldiers on the M62, killing 12 people.  A further 26 people died later in the year in attacks on the Tower of London and on pubs in Guilford and Birmingham.  The last Provisional IRA attack on the British mainland was in 1996, but extremist splinter groups have carried out bombings since then.
(BBC Report)
1979 AIREY NEAVE KILLED
In 1979, Airey Neave was blown up in his own car as he drove from the car park at the House of Commons. His legs were severed and he was unrecognisable, though his black coat and striped trousers identified him as a Tory MP.
Airey Neave Killed
It was one of the most serious assaults on the sanctity of parliament since the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, and 30 years on the identity of Neave's murderers is still uncertain and his death remains unavenged.

The case caused an enormous shock, for Neave was then a major political figure. He was Margaret Thatcher's eminence grise, and steered her to leadership. More relevantly he was shadow Northern Ireland secretary, a portfolio that he expected to be his when Thatcher became prime minister.

But in a new century Neave is almost forgotten. Paul Routledge, with several other political biographies behind him, makes in this book a strenuous attempt to revive him and to lend to his life a greater significance than it possibly had. Public servant, yes; secret agent, more dubious. Neave had links with the intelligence community dating back to his war service, but there seems no real proof he was active in the field after he became an MP.

During World War II, however, Neave may have established one serious claim to historical fame. He saved the Chartres cathedral from being blown to pieces by American tanks during the liberation of France, or so says the record in the parish church of St Mary's, Oxfordshire, where he is buried. According to this story, Neave arrived at the place in front of the cathedral to find the turret guns ready to fire because, the Americans said, there were snipers in the spire. Neave begged for five minutes' grace, went into the cathedral unarmed, climbed up the spiral staircase, and waved a handkerchief to indicate there were no Germans there. A remarkable story, and it is odd that Neave does not mention it in his extensive memoirs.

Routledge's biography falls into three parts. The first section draws heavily on Neave's own account of his wartime experience when, as a POW, he became the first Briton to escape from the "impregnable" fortress of Colditz. This event has been documented in films, on television and in print, but still makes good reading. He was then recruited to a division of MI6, and set up the "ratlines" which helped people escape from occupied Europe.

Most people will speed-read the second section of the book which details Neave's parliamentary record, though his plotting on behalf of Thatcher has interest. ("I feel like a puppet whose strings have been cut," she said after his murder.)
The third and most lively section, at least to conspiracy theorists, can be subtitled "Who killed Airey Neave?" Routledge goes for the obvious suspect, the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA), a small but deadly breakaway from the IRA. In a risky operation he made contact with INLA and spoke to a masked man who gave details of the kill. Republicans wanted Neave out of the way, because as Ulster secretary, his policy would have been no amnesty, shoot to kill, and capital punishment for terrorism. INLA and the IRA itself saw him as highly dangerous.

 

 

But other theories abound. One is that Neave was blown up by three "sleepers" who had no known connection with republican activities before or after the murder. It was a one-off job done for patriotic reasons.

Even more interesting is the theory that MI5 and the CIA worked together to get rid of Neave.

The chief exponent of this theory was Enoch Powell, who maintained for many years that the CIA had assassinated not only Neave but also Lord Mountbatten. The reason? Neave was determined to keep the six counties part of Britain, the US Administration wanted a united Ireland as a member of the Western defence alliance.

As for MI5 and MI6, Neave is said to have expressed the opinion that they were Augean stables that needed cleaning out and he intended to do this when Thatcher was in government.



October 2009
The Irish terror group  is disbanding amid claims the British Government has given it more than £7million.The Irish National Liberation Army - also thought to have a hand in the Omagh bombing and the murder of two British soldiers in Northern Ireland this year - will pocket the taxpayers' money over five years, it was claimed yesterday.The alleged deal was revealed as the Republican paramilitary group - responsible for 113 murders - announced an end to its 35-year campaign of violence. The INLA said its 'armed struggle is over' and it would pursue its objectives by 'exclusively peaceful political struggle'.

Security sources in Ulster claimed the £7million would be 'dressed up' as grants and funds for community projects involving former terrorists.

THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW

Henry Fitzailwyn was London's first Lord Mayor in 1189 and the first Lord Mayor's Show was in 1215. The reason for the procession is for the Lord Mayor to pledge his allegiance to the Crown (the current king or queen).

The new Lord Mayor is required to swear a pledge his allegiance in front of the Lord Chief Justice and Judges of the Queen's Bench Division, hence the route from Mansion House in the City of London (the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London) to the Royal Courts of Justice.

The Lord Mayor's Show was the first event to be broadcast live on television. The BBC cameras film from Mansion House each year to an audience of millions.

Sussex

Not many places have stronger bonfire traditions than Sussex.  Where in other places, celebrations of the Gunpowder Plot have dwindled to be little more than suburban garden fires and boxed fireworks, the enormous bonfires and stunning fireworks displays across Sussex continue.Sussex bonfires kick off in October and continue through November.  Many of the county’s towns and villages have their own bonfire societies, which organise their event every year.  Bonfire societies tour around the county taking part in the torchlight processions in each town and village.Many of the societies are long established, although Lewes in the oldest of the Sussex organisations.  The Lewes societies originated in the 17th century after the 5 November celebrations across the county spiralled out of control and became riotous, drunken events, which sparked a crackdown by authorities.  Bonfire societies were formed to bring the bonfire boys, and their events into some kind of order.Sussex bonfires began to take a more organised form in the 19th century, after an unsuccessful attempt by police to put a stop to the celebrations.  This is when the Sussex bonfires became organised torch-lit processions accompanied by drummers and banners, like we know them today.  Many of the societies dropped their distinctive disguises for more elaborate fancy dress.  Each of the societies still have their own ‘uniform’, which often gives clues to how the society was formed.
In 1066 Country, the Hastings, Battle and Rye bonfire societies play big parts in the gunpowder season, organising events that draw tens of thousands of people to the area celebrate bonfire night in spectacular fashion.

Battle  bonfire society plays a big part  in the gunpowder season, organising events that draw tens of thousands of people to the area celebrate bonfire night in spectacular fashion.  During the 17th century a roaring gunpowder trade operated from Battle, with the largest works being on the site of the Powdermills Hotel.  It was these seemingly inconspicuous works that reportedly supplied Guy Fawkes prior to his plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament on 5 November 1605.

Edinburgh
5 November 2009
Meadowbank Sports Centre : Edinburgh’s bonfire night celebrations take place each year at the Meadowbank Stadium. This year head down on the evening of November 5th to join in with the outdoor festivities. Oddly enough the organisers of the event have done away with the traditional bonfire and guy and instead concentrate on the fireworks display but we can tell you that it is certainly worth it! The light display will include the biggest rockets available shooting high above the city skyline to the sound of specially selected music. Both sporting events and a bagpipe performance take place throughout the evening, meaning that the entertainment goes on all night and that the tickets are worth every penny and more. You can even pre book to ensure that you get a seat in the covered area of the stadium where you will be free to enjoy the entertainment without having to brave the elements. However, there are also tickets for those who prefer to stay traditional and stand out in the rain and wind!  Tel:  0131 650 1001
