Thanks Chris. I didn't have much time to study it.
Very clever but I'd never have noticed which would have been a waste.
Thanks Jazzlover for pointing it out.

I liked coronet at 17d....having nothing in your cornet I guess! I don't think anyone else has mentioned this one?
Well done to jazzlover 42!! Did you just spot it, no one tipped you off? As rossim says, I wouldn't have spotted it.
To tie the whole thing up: it's a hidden theme, with no preamble, but the other key solution is "Don't mention it".
