'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 Daily Mail, The Times, The Independent, the LA Times, the Evening Standard and The Sun.
