The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation, as these young fundraisers eagerly approach passersby, their prams adorned with effigies of Guy Fawkes. Dressed in their winter coats and scarves, they embody the spirit of bonfire night - a time when communities come together to celebrate British customs and remember historical events. Amidst the hustle and bustle, one cannot help but be reminded of simpler times when children took part in age-old traditions like penny for the guy.
