CEREMONIES across the county have been held to proclaim King Charles III following his accession to the throne.
The proclamation ceremonies, organised by local councils, are part of the traditional process of honouring a new monarch.
A number of dignitaries and politicians have been appearing at the events on Sunday, September 11, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Ceremonies took place in many town halls including in Chichester County Hall for West Sussex County Council and in Worthing for the Borough Council.
In Chichester, West Sussex County Council's event included the reading of the proclamation by the High Sheriff of West Sussex James Whitmore.
The proclamations also included the singing of the national anthem, with "God Save the King" being heard for one of the first times in King Charles' reign.
in Worthing, the proclamation was read by Worthing Mayor Henna Chowdhury. Flags were briefly raised back to full mast to celebrate the proclamations before being lowered again to mourn the Queen.
Proclamation ceremonies took place at all the local councils across Sussex following the national proclamation of King Charles on Saturday, Septmeber 10.
