'consternation' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dismay that I've seen before include "Affright" , "Consternation, discouragement" , "Consternation, trepidation" , "upset" , "Disappointment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Independent, the Evening Standard, The Sun, The Daily Mail and the LA Times.
