Revellers in an English town burnt an effigy of the U.S. cyclist Lance Armstrong during their Bonfire Night celebrations on Saturday (November 3).<br/> <br />The 30 foot (10 metre) representation of the now disgraced but one time seven times winner of the Tour de France race was burned in Edenbridge in Kent alongside a traditional representation of the British historical figure Guy Fawkes.<br/> <br />Edenbridge, in common with much of Britain, marks Guy Fawkes Night -- a reliving of the failed attempt in 1605 to blow up Britain's parliament -- with a bonfire and fireworks each November, but adds spice to the bawdy festival by choosing a public figure to be "Celebrity Guy".<br/> <br />Various, usually British, public figures have shared the dubious honour of being burned in effigy, including former Prime Minister Tony Blair and soccer player Wayne Rooney.
