Lewes Bonfire Night, procession of the Martyr's Crosses, detail as the procession receeds. Note the heat haze from the burning torches distorting the view of the road sign and street lamps in the background.

Part of the Bonfire Night celebrations on the 5th November in Lewes, Sussex.

The burning crosses commemorate the 17 Protestant martyrs who were burnt at the stake in the town during the Marian persecutions of 1555–1557.
