It was the biggest ever Hong Wrong ‘International Pillow Fight Day’ yet.
Kids fought on the sidelines in an internationally synchronised day of community love and global unity…
Dozens also turned up in colourful costumes…
There was even live music this year, courtesy of a friendly bagpiping duo…
As well a ‘pillow yoga’ session for those looking to warm up…

There were no injuries, though shit got real between a couple of the younger competitors…
The weather was perfect and revellers cleared up their mess afterwards.
Over 100 other cities around the world took part.
