Memorials were held across the United States to mourn Trump ally Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated during a campus event in Utah last week.

Footage shows a stage at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC, set with American flags and a large screen displaying images and videos of the conservative commentator to honour him.

Charlie, who cofounded Turning Point USA, was killed by a suspected sniper at around 12:25 pm while he held a political discussion at a campus event at Utah Valley University.

President Donald Trump said he is 'filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination' and called it a 'dark moment for America'.

Law enforcement has taken a suspect into custody, with Utah Governor Spencer Cox identifying the alleged shooter as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

Governor Cox said: 'He is not cooperating, but all the people around him were cooperating, and I think that's very important.'
