fogueira (de sinalização)


Explanation:

Jubilee Beacons
O tipo de "beacon" tradicional em festanças da monarquia, pelo menos no Reino Unido, é uma fogueira. O texto abaixo, e o segundo link, descrevem isso. Parece que há uma versão moderna alimentada por gás de cozinha. Mas, em todos os casos, não são luzes elétricas, mas fogo mesmo de uma forma ou outra.

"There is a long and unbroken tradition of celebrating Royal Jubilees, Weddings and Coronations with the lighting of Beacons whether they be on the top of mountains, church towers, castle battlements, town and village greens, country parks, estates and farms and along the beaches surrounding our shores. There are two types of Beacons being lit for this great occasion, the traditional Bonfire Beacon and the Church Tower Beacon fuelled by bottled gas."
