Festival son ignored getting apple? (5)
I believe the answer is:
eater
'apple?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'festival son ignored' is the wordplay.
'festival' becomes 'easter' (I've seen this before).
'son' becomes 's'.
'ignored' is a deletion indicator.
'easter' with 's' taken out is 'EATER'.
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for eater that I've seen before include "Person taking course" , "Fruit (but not a cooker)" , "type of fruit" , "Apple, perhaps" , "One consuming" .)
