Dignified, sombre (6)

I believe the answer is:

solemn

This clue is a double definition.

'dignified' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sombre' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for solemn that I've seen before include "'Earnest, grave (6)'" , "Formal, ceremonial" , "'Dignified, sombre (6)'" , "gloomy" , "Serious, dignified or ceremonial" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
