Crossword Genius

Normal nowadays, English display of pomp and circumstance (6)

I believe the answer is:

parade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pomp and circumstance' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'normal nowadays english' is the wordplay.
'normal' becomes 'par' (as in par for the course).
'nowadays' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'par'+'ad'+'e'='PARADE'

'display of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parade that I've seen before include "Air - display" , "Promenade" , "Exhibit" , "Organised procession of displays, performances, etc" , "March-past of troops etc." .)
