The town's Remembrance Sunday commemorations began with a parade departing from the Royal British Legion in Grove Street at 2.30pm, making its way to St Mary's Church for a Service of Remembrance at 3pm.
The parade returned following the service, as members of the community came together to reflect on the sacrifices made by servicemen and women and honour those who continue to serve in the Armed Forces.
The annual commemoration formed part of a wider programme of remembrance across West Sussex, with communities gathering throughout the district to mark the occasion.
Petworth was also due to hold a further Act of Remembrance on Armistice Day, Wednesday, November 11, at the war memorial outside St Mary's Church.
The town's remembrance programme was supported by local Royal British Legion volunteers, who had been fundraising for veterans and the Armed Forces community in the weeks leading up to the commemorations.
