A pillow-wielding mob descended on Trafalgar Square today for
feathery fisticuffs in front of London's most iconic
monuments.
Similar scenes were repeated all over the world as part
of annual World Pillow Fight
Day.
Trafalgar Square's usual inhabitants - tourists and pigeons - beat
a hasty retreat as a flashmob of thousands gathered for a good
old-fashioned pillow fight in the sunshine.
For the fifth year in a row, Trafalgar Square was invaded for an
hour of relaxation in the sunshine as Londoners let their
inhibitions go and attacked strangers with gusto.
Equally enthusiastic scenes
were replicated in major U.S. cities including
Atlanta, Boston and Chicago and as far afield as
Hong Kong.
There were just two
rules.
Revellers were not allowed to
hit anyone with a camera, or anyone not armed with a
pillow.
