Soldier maybe with attendant on parade (7)
I believe the answer is:
pageant
'parade' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'soldier maybe with attendant' is the wordplay.
'soldier maybe' becomes 'ant' (soldier is a type of ant. I am not sure about the 'maybe' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'attendant' becomes 'page' (page is a kind of attendant).
'ant' put after 'page' is 'PAGEANT'.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pageant that I've seen before include "Show" , "Costumed procession" , "Elaborate procession on historical theme" , "Scene moving" , "entertaining spectacle" .)
