Country lover initially pointing at dazzling display (7)

I believe the answer is:

patriot

'country lover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'initially pointing at dazzling display' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'dazzling display' becomes 'riot'.
The initial letter of 'pointing' is 'p'.
'p'+'at'+'riot'='PATRIOT'

(Other definitions for patriot that I've seen before include "Devotee of their country" , "Loyal citizen" , "Country supporter" , "Nationalist" , "One supporting country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
