Happy new year, everybody

I am still stuck on 2 down. The clue is 'singular beauty title for extraordinary torch-bearer' (6,2,7)

I don't have many letters and what I do have may be wrong.
------/0-/L---G--

Need help so I can consign this paper to the recycling bank.
Thank you in anticipation.

It looks like STATUE OF LIBERTY if your G is wrong. I haven't parsed it yet, though.

Thank you so much. Yes, I obviously got 35 across wrong. I had put 'pageantry'.

The clue was 'show big wheel's fit to leave ground' (9)

Chrise, the answer to that was Airworthy, fit to leave ground. Air/show+ worthy, big wheel/boss.
