From airplane to Arizona stadium: Charlie Kirk’s funeral viral videos will surely give you ‘absolute chills’| Watch

On September 21, 2025, thousands gathered at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to honor Charlie Kirk, a Conservative commentator who was killed in a shooting earlier this month. The event attracted public figures, religious leaders, and supporters, leading to a surge of videos on the social media platform X showcasing the memorial service. Notable attendees included Elon Musk, who shared his experience at the event, and former President Donald Trump, who was scheduled to speak. The facility, which has a capacity of approximately 73,000, saw significant turnout with over 200,000 people expressing interest in attending. An additional venue, Desert Diamond Arena, will accommodate overflow attendees.

Videos from the memorial featured emotional tributes, including passengers on a plane singing “Amazing Grace” as they flew to Phoenix. A video showing a pizza delivery manager walking over a mile to bring food to those waiting in line also gained attention. Security measures at the event were heightened, comparable to those at major sports events.

Among the speakers were Vice President JD Vance and several Cabinet officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Kirk’s wife, Erika Kirk, is also expected to address the crowd during the memorial.
