Hundreds of thousands are expected to fill the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday to pay final respects to pro-Israel conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Among those expected to address the service are President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and five members of the Cabinet.
As over 200,000 people responded online that they wanted tickets to the event at the 63,000-seat State Farm Stadium, organizers have prepared overflow seating in a nearby arena. Long lines began to form before sunrise on Sunday outside of the venue. The service is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. ET (9:00 p.m. Israel time).
Kirk, who was described as a defender of Judeo-Christian values, among other things, was shot in the neck just over a week ago while talking on the campus of Utah Valley University. He was pronounced dead a short time later, sending shockwaves across the world and sending conservatives both in the US, Israel, and around the world into mourning.
