Protests and rallies in major cities around the world, most of them already pre-planned on immigration and other topics, commemorated the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10.

In the UK, a protest that occurred against a backdrop of growing anti-mass migration sentiment, and follows a recent Raise the Colours movement, which has seen Union Jacks and Crosses of St. George hoisted in huge numbers across England, highlighted the death of Kirk.

Protest organizer Tommy Robinson said that “Charlie Kirk’s legacy to us in Great Britain is the only reason we have hope, that we have a fight, that we’re still in the fight, and that we have an opportunity to regain our free speech,” he said, adding that he hopes  Kirk’s legacy has inspired a new generation to speak out.

In Madrid, a vigil was held outside the U.S. Embassy, and similar tributes were held in other countries across Europe, including in Germany and the Czech Republic.

In South Korea, footage uploaded to social media showed people marching and waving the South Korean and the American flags. They chanted, “We are Charlie Kirk,” and held signs saying “Chinese No-Visa Entry = Security Threat.”

In Australia, a candlelight vigil for Kirk was held in Brisbane. The vigil was organized by Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk founded.

“How strange is it, [being] so far away from the USA that we should feel such sadness,” a tribute video shared by Turning Point Australia said. “There will not be another man like Charlie Kirk.”
