Happiness is....a pillow fight!

Since the time we were toddlers, I’m sure we’ve all had a few pillow fights which have ended in nothing but tears of laughter rolling down our faces and – if you’re living in a perfect world – feathers free-flowing everywhere.

2 April is probably one of the happiest days to exist because it is International Pillow Fight Day.

Don’t worry, there were no casualties, except for some tattered pillow cases and flying feathers, as people were armed and ready to re-live their childhood and blow off some much-needed steam.

Here’s proof that they had nothing short of the best time.
