Let the feathers fly

Uptown Waterloo is just one of the many communities around the world taking part in this year's International Pillow Fight Day.

Participants are invited to take a soft swing at friends and strangers.

It's usually something that helps create sweet dreams but Saturday thousands of people around the world grabbed their pillows and hit the streets looking for a fight.
