Londoners have celebrated International Pillow Fight Day with a slumber party in Kennington Park.

This year's event had been due to be staged in Trafalgar Square but was moved after failing to secure official approval.

International Pillow Fight Day is celebrated in over 100 cities around the world and is in its seventh year.
