___ and circumstance (4)

I believe the answer is:

pomp

(Other definitions for pomp that I've seen before include "Ceremonial elegance and splendour" , "Grandiosity" , "Splendid ceremonial" , "Ostentation - vanity" , "Boastful display" .)

I've seen this clue in the Family Time, the USA Today and the Universal.
