Bonfire society burns effigy of Harvey Weinstein at annual UK bonfire event

An effigy of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was burnt at an annual event. The event was organised by a bonfire society in Britain's south-eastern town of Edenbridge. Thousands of people attended the event that began with a procession and ended with the burning of the effigy. Many were seen wearing fancy dresses adding a dash of drama to the event. Every year the society burns a 'Guy' - named after gunpowder plotter Guy Fawkes. They also burn an effigy of a celebrity alongside the Guy. The celebrity is often the one who is currently making headlines. Earlier, effigies of U.S. President Donald Trump, former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and former European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso were also burnt in previous years.
