Please help it's driving us nuts! Thank you in advance

Don't have the paper,so can't confirm anything. However- 17d = F(l)ighter. and 24d = Retinue.

please list the clues and number of letters and any letters you may have. it would be easier for me to follow if each clue was on a separate line. i get very confused easily

Thank you Terry, I had FEATHER where you suggest FIGHTER and that was throwing us out, wasnt a bad guess though!

sorry you have given the clues, didn't read past the first line.

21a. (o)negate.

Thanks for the plug Caravaggio.

I should point out that tomorrow (Saturday) I only give hints as it's a prize crossword.

Caravaggio can probably claim back something for a plug on his expense account. :)
