What do you call the 5th of November? As a child of the 70s and 80s it was 'Guy Fawkes' night and my friends and I might make a 'guy' to throw on the bonfire. It is interesting to see through an analysis of the UK Web Archive SHINE service that the popularity of the term 'Guy Fawkes' was overtaken by 'Bonfire night' in 2009. I've included 'Fireworks night' too for comparison.

Is this part of a trend away from the original anti-catholic remembrance and celebration to a more neutral event?

Examine this (and other) trends on our SHINE service.
