The army of sleeping beauties woke up, grabbed their soft, fluffy pillows and set upon themselves in a melee of epic proportions. The battle was fought around the world on
International Pillow Fight Day Saturday, April 4, 2015 and in our fair city the field of honour was Nathan Phillips Square in the shadows of City Hall.

Starting at 3 pm the combatants must have had a lot of free Red Rain energy drinks because they kept going and going for over an hour. In single combat, occasionally in pairs and rarely in small groups, the people kept the momentum of the fight going as hundreds of photographers circled the group as pillows flailed and sometimes were flung high in the air.
