A memorial service for right-wing activist Charlie Kirk will be held on 21 September at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, a venue which can seat more than 60,000 people. Turning Point USA, the organisation Kirk co-founded, made the announcement on social media, inviting the public to celebrate his remarkable life and enduring legacy. Kirk, 31, was shot dead on Wednesday during an open-air speaking event in Utah. His suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, was arrested after surrendering to police. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the memorial service, along with Vice-President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Before departing for Israel, Rubio expressed his admiration for Kirk, highlighting his influence on young people. Arizona holds special significance for Kirk as the location of Turning Point USA's headquarters and where he lived with his family. Kirk's widow, Erika, has also promised to uphold her husband's legacy, declaring that the 'fire' ignited by his death will drive her mission forward. Kirk was known for energizing the young conservative movement and had significant influence during the Trump presidency. Following his death, Trump announced that Kirk would receive a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom.
