S5 E9 Lesser Known British Celebrations Part 2

This week we are picking up where we left off last week with Part 2 of British holidays and traditions. First up is Burns Night where haggis, bagpipes and bards rule and we continue the Scottish theme with Hogmany (check out Part 1 last week, Episode 8 to hear other New Year's traditions.) The British monarchy is an institution that has stood the test of time so it only seems fitting there is day dedicated to the man who tried to end it - Guy Fawkes. Did you know that Trooping the Colour celebrates the monarch's 'public' birthday? British society has evolved over time and Notting Hill Carnival is an iconic event in the London calendar celebrating the Caribbean community.
