Rye Bonfire Night 2011
My tribute to John Carpenter's 'The Fog'.
***
For the first time in several years I was fit enough to reach a Sussex Bonfire Societies event, at Rye in Sussex. There is a strong tradition of celebrating Bonfire Night in the area plus the deaths of Protestant martyrs in Lewes during the reign of Queen Mary I.
Several thousand people converged on Rye for the torchlight procession, huge bonfire and fireworks display to raise money for local good causes. It was a good natured family event.
