Over 100,000 demonstrators gathered in central London on September 13, 2025, for Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” march, which transformed into a massive memorial for Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA assassinated three days earlier during a debate at Utah Valley University.
The event, the largest far-right rally in Britain in decades, featured chants against immigration and for free speech, tributes like a moment of silence and bagpipe performances, but escalated into violence with clashes resulting in 25 arrests.
Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, vowed to expand his patriotic mission amid polarised global reactions, including condemnations from figures like Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and backlash against those celebrating the killing, such as author Stephen King and an Ohio judge.
