Procession of the martyrs Lewes bonfire night celebrations
Each bonfire society has its own traditional costumes (ranging from Tudor dress to Mongol warriors). A number of large effigies are drawn though the streets. Effigies of Guy Fawkes and Pope Paul V, who became head of the Roman Catholic Church in 1605, feature every year. In addition, each of the five main local societies creates a topical tableau (usually, but not always, representing a human figure or figures), and the Cliffe society displays on pikes the heads (also in effigy) of its current Enemies of Bonfire, this year (2007) it was Brighton and Hove Albion F.C. because of the stadium rumpus.
