Walk in a pompous manner (5)

I believe the answer is:

strut

(Other definitions for strut that I've seen before include "Walk proudly like bantam-cock" , "Move stiffly" , "(Walk with) a stiff pompous gait" , "Strengthening bar" , "Trust (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
