Families of the dead laid wreaths at the Bloody Sunday monument in the Bogside where so many of the 14 victims were killed when British soldiers opened fire on a civil rights march on 30 January 1972.
Hundreds of relatives, friends and supporters were joined in a minute's silence by politicians including Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and John Hume.
Representatives from both Catholic and Protestant faiths also attended today's memorial.
There was also representation from the Irish Government at the event.
Traditionally the families led the annual Bloody Sunday Parade but following the findings of the Saville Inquiry and the apology they prompted from the British Government, the majority decided the 2011 parade would be their last.
A march did go ahead in Derry this afternoon but it was on a much smaller scale than in recent years.
The Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service and the PSNI have been considering the inquiry's findings for the last 19 months.
