WATCH LIVE: Charlie Kirk's Funeral Service
More than 200,000 mourners are gathering for the funeral of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, Sunday in Arizona.
A band is playing gospel music as thousands of people dressed in red, white and blue began flooding the Arizona Cardinals’ stadium hours before the 11 a.m. PT service — some waiting outside since 4 a.m., others having to park miles away and walk to the memorial.
President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, and others will speak about the influential Turning Point USA founder, shot dead Sept. 10 as he spoke on a Utah college campus during a stop on his American Comeback Tour.
List of people set to speak at Charle Kirk's funeral
Here's the list of people scheduled to speak at Charlie Kirk's funeral, not necessarily in this order. We're on the lookout for a funeral service program but haven't seen one yet.
- President Donald Trump

- Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard
- Donald Trump Jr.
- Tucker Carlson
- White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller
- U.S. Ambassador to India nominee Sergio Gor
People filling the stadium to the rafters for Charlie Kirk's funeral
The seats at the top level of State Farm Stadium are filling up with about an hour to go until Charlie Kirk's funeral service begins.
A police officer outside told reporters about an hour ago that they would start turning people away at the door.
The arena has a capacity of 73,000. Organizers expecting a colossal turnout reserved the Desert Diamond Arena next door for overflow, but that only holds 20,000 — not enough for even half of the sea of 200,000 mourners here.

Erika Kirk reveals she wears husband Charlie’s blood-stained pendant that was ripped from his neck as he died
Grieving widow Erika Kirk has revealed she wears the blood-stained pendant of St. Michael that her husband Charlie was wearing when he was shot.
The small icon, with blood traces in the crevice of the cross, was ripped from Kirk’s body by medics as they attempted to stop the bleeding after he was shot at a Turning Point USA event in Utah less than two weeks ago, Erika told the New York Times.
Erika, 36, revealed that she and others in her husband’s circle had heard him suggest before that he could die a violent death.
