A massive rally organized by Tommy Robinson drew crowds today, but last night, on Friday, Turning Point UK held a vigil for Charlie Kirk near the Manga Marie statue in central London.

Kirk, a respected figure, father, Christian, and man of principle, was committed to respectful engagement and played a vital role in fostering the exchange of ideas on campuses across America. Even Māori Christians from New Zealand performed a powerful haka in central London to honour him.

At the London vigil, many expressed sadness over his death. “It's a battle between good and evil, as he was a Christian man, and wickedness took him out,” said one attendee.

"I hadn't really heard of him before, but learning about the amazing, incredible work he did for God, standing on the truth of the Word of God, it will never be forgotten," said another person.

"As a black girl,” said another local. “I appreciated his call for unity between us and white people. Satan should be our only common enemy. Charlie was a great example; he talked about his faith so openly and brought a lot of positivity.”

Many expressed disgust at the celebrations of his death online. "It's absolutely disgraceful, outrageous,” said one attendee. “I'm really pleased to hear that President Trump is going to take action.”

“To laugh and celebrate the death of somebody, especially the father of two lovely children who are going to grow up without their dad, you need to really look at yourself,” said another person.

While acknowledging the fear, one attendee stated, "People are not going to be afraid. We have to stay strong and stand up for what we believe."
