Warwick University students this week launched an attempt to recapture the world record for the largest pillow fight ever. Earlier this month, 967 Warwick students set the mark, but it was soon broken by a US college. Warwick's Steve Pretty, who organised the first fight, said: "We smashed the standing record by 300 - only for the glory to be snatched away from us by a mere handful of extra bodies in the private American college."
