Tens of thousands of mourners, including Donald Trump and Elon Musk gathered for the memorial of activist Charlie Kirk.

The atmosphere in Kirk’s home state of Arizona at the State Farm Stadium was part raucous political rally, part megachurch service, with music beforehand from Christian bands, who prompted singalongs and prayer from the crowd of almost 100,000.

Charlie Kirk will posthumously receive America’s highest civilian honour, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
