The Mayor Cllr Gurdip Ram Bungar attended multiple Remembrance services throughout the borough.
He said: "Remembrance Sunday and the two minutes silence have been observed since the end of the First World War, but their relevance remains undiminished.
"I am extremely proud to have laid a wreath at the memorial service at Windmill Hill on Sunday and indeed to attend services that remember those that have lost their lives as well as those brave men and women that are currently serving in our armed forces.”
Members of the Sikh community joined the Mayor to commemorate the life of late Squadron Leader Mohinder Singh Pujji at his monument in St Andrew's Gardens.

There were prayers, music and hymns before wreaths were laid beside the monument outside the park.
Speaking ahead of the the event, Council leader Jeremy Kite showed his support for those who still serve at home and overseas.
Posting on Facebook he said: "I'm very proud to know that Dartford doesn't need many reminders about Remembrance Day and the numbers of local people who take part in services and commemorations around this great borough seems to rise every year.
"In a year that has seen its share of turbulence and tetchiness in our national public discourse, perhaps events like the Service of Remembrance at Central Park can bring everyone together to appreciate the debt we all owe to those who served and those who gave when our country, and wider freedoms, were in peril.
"It's a chance too, to thank and show support for those who still serve at home and overseas. The courage and professionalism is endless."
Special needs teacher and Liberal Democrats campaigner, Kyle Marsh was also in attendance.
He said: "Acts of Remembrance have been an important part of my life, from my childhood in Canada until now, and will continue to be important to me.
"My parents were both soldiers, and many of the friends I grew up with have served their country in the Armed Forces.”
"Peace is difficult to attain, and lasting peace is fragile. I urge all Dartford citizens and visitors to do what they can to mark this sombre and meaningful day.”
Southeastern will be offering free travel on all of its services today for serving troops, veterans and cadets.
