Feathers will fly! Trafalgar Square hosts a giant pillow fight as thousands around the world celebrate childhood tradition
Dozens of people descended on Trafalgar Square in London this afternoon to mark International Pillow Fight Day
Participants armed with feather-filled pillows bashed their opponents and threw caution to the wind during the event
More than 100 countries around the world celebrated the unique day with people from Paris to New York taking part.

London was just one of more than 100 cities around the world to take part in the event. People from Hong Kong to Paris, Madrid to Toronto and New York to Singapore also took part in celebrating the favourite childhood tradition. Organisers said the pillow fights are seen as a way to get people outside and relieve stress



Dozens of people congregated at Trafalgar Square in central London at around 3pm and thrashed it out with fellow pillow fight-goers until their arms ached. Traditionally, people usually move on to St James's Park after the event to relax and unwind



The gigantic pillow fight filled Trafalgar Square with millions of feathers - which were briefly left strewn all over the road until the big clean-up got underway
