Turning Point USA announced news of today’s memorial earlier this week and invited the public to come along to pay tribute.

The non-profit wrote on social media: “Join us in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend.”

Among people who are set to speak at the funeral today (Sunday, 21 September) at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, are the US president, VP JD Vance, and Kirk’s widow, Erika.

Tens of thousands of people have gathered to remember the conservative activist, and as per the BBC, the event has the same level of security you would expect at the Super Bowl.

The venue can accommodate around 73,000 people, and strict TSA-style security measures have been implemented for the large crowds attending.
