The light of day (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sun

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the light' is the first definition.
(sun is a kind of light)

'day' is the second definition.
(abbreviation for Sunday)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sun that I've seen before include "Star around which the earth travels" , "Major star" , "Helios, in Greek myth" , "Warmer" , "Star; newspaper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
