Heather Large: Bonfire events are a great way to bring whole communities together
I always looked forward to November 5 when I was a child, but it might have had more to do with it being very close to my birthday than wanting to stand by a roaring fire or watch fireworks.

Once bonfire night arrived, the countdown to presents and parties could really begin.
But I did enjoy bonfires that were held every year in our village and there was always much excitement as we wrapped up warm and walked up to the playing fields to eat hot dogs and toffee apples and later watch the colourful fireworks.
The pyre always seemed to go on forever and I loved the smell of the burning wood.
