Charlie Kirk Tributes Go International, from UK to South Korea

Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination on Sept. 10 for speaking truth shocked the world, with widespread shock and grief and a prayerful, powerful response breaking out around the world.

From tributes held in America’s sports stadiums and the Kennedy Center to prayer vigils and pop-up memorials in smalltown America to the largest cities in the world, his legacy has now transcended politics and borders through his faith-inspired advocacy.

Worldwide, in South Korea, the U.K., Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and many other countries, supporters gathered at candlelit vigils to mourn and affirm that Kirk’s message would not die with him. In London, for example, Hundreds of thousands paid tribute during a preplanned free speech protest known as “United the Kingdom,” which with an estimated 2.4 million participants attending is now considered one of the largest conservative demonstrations the United Kingdom in decades. The event added a solemn remembrance of Charlie Kirk that included a moment of silence and a lone bagpiper playing “Amazing Grace.”
