Servicemen and women from branches of the armed forces past and present, and reservists and cadets were joined at the event by members of the public, who watched a parade, and looked at a number of exhibitions.
We have put together a picture gallery showing the best photographs of the day.
Sheffield’s Lord Mayor Jayne Dunn said she had spent the morning talking to veterans and cadets at the event.
She said: “It’s a privilege and an honour to be able to pay tribute to those who gave their lives and who served.”
Coun Anne Fox, Sheffield Council’s veterans champion, said there was a fantastic turn out with cadets and reservists. She said we should never forget what the armed forces had done for us and that we were forever in their debt.
