GI truly sorry in ceremony (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liturgy

'ceremony' is the definition.
(liturgy is a kind of ceremony)

'gi truly sorry' is the wordplay.
'sorry' indicates an anagram (sorry can mean poor-quality or wretched).
'gi'+'truly'='gitruly'
'gitruly' anagrammed gives 'LITURGY'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for liturgy that I've seen before include "ritual" , "Form of worship" , "Standard form of church service" , "church office" , "Prescribed forms for church services" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
