LONDON -- People in cities across the globe have taken part in mass pillow fights as part of International Pillow Fight Day.

In London's Trafalgar Square, people came dressed in pajamas, dressing gowns and fancy dress to take part in the good natured pillow fight April 2 afternoon. Most people carried feather-filled pillows that exploded as they fought.
