A sense of spectacle (5)

I believe the answer is:

sight

This clue is a double definition.

'a sense' is the first definition.
(sight or vision is a sense)

'spectacle' is the second definition.
(spectacle can mean a sight or display)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for sight that I've seen before include "Power of vision" , "something ugly" , "Spectacle; aiming aid" , "Sense" , "View" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Irish Independent.
