Video: Massive Crowds Turn Out for London Rally Following Death of Charlie Kirk With Some Estimates Hitting 1 Million
A London rally originally organized to focus on immigration and free speech rights in the United Kingdom has reportedly drawn massive crowds, with many honoring Charlie Kirk in the wake of his assassination this week.
The Saturday gathering was organized by conservative activist Tommy Robinson and was initially billed as a “Unite the Kingdom” rally, according to Reuters.
Yet after the assassination of Turning Point USA’s co-founder on Wednesday, the numbers have swelled, while the focus has expanded to include the issue of political violence.
Reuters claimed over 100,000 people have already shown up. Several posts on the social media platform X, however, include photos that suggest the number is closer to one million.
“BREAKING: Over a million British patriots are gathering in London to mourn Charlie Kirk, in favor of British nationalism and against mass third world migration,” journalist Eric Daugherty wrote on X. “Absolutely stunning. The movement is alive and well. History is being made.”

The Guardian reported that Steve Bannon — former adviser to President Donald Trump — was among those slated to speak. Psychology professor and author Jordan Peterson was also slated to appear.
Kirk, 31, was assassinated at Utah Valley University on Wednesday during a Turning Point event in Orem, Utah.
Authorities later identified the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who is a Utah resident. He is currently in custody.
Trump said Thursday that Kirk would posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but the details of a ceremony have yet to be announced.
