After short remarks by right-wing  pundits and activists, hundreds of people prayed and placed candles in front of pictures of the murdered conservative icon.

A similar event is also planned for this coming Sunday, next to Ronald Reagan’s statue in Liberty Square, Budapest, where a live broadcast of Kirk’s funeral will be showcased on a large screen.
