Group of attendants (7)
I believe the answer is:
retinue
'group of attendants' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for retinue that I've seen before include "Group of attendants for VIP" , "Group following an important person" , "Train; attendants" , "Train, escort" , "Cortege" .)
