Showy display from cool and distant European (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fanfare

'showy display' is the definition.
(fanfare can mean a showy or extravagant display)

'cool and distant european' is the wordplay.
'cool' becomes 'fan' (fan can mean to cool down).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'distant' becomes 'far' (similar in meaning).
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'fan'+'far'+'e'='FANFARE'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for fanfare that I've seen before include "Trumpet call" , "Brass flourish" , "A ceremonial blast of trumpets" , "Flourish of trumpets" , "elaborate ceremony" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
