Hi. I also can’t get 24a. Nor 26a. Will try the quick solve

Got 24. Clever. Now for 26.

Ok. Got 26 now. Didn’t know the term.

Nobody has mentioned 15 across, so it must be me being thick. I get the Brown, but not the gym kit.

apparatus rather than clothing

gym kit is where a gymnast balances while doing exercises

Funny. After an exceptionally easy and quick Prize, I couldn't even complete this Everyman on Saturday night (US time). Drew a blank on the 2nd word of 12, and was utterly lost on 24 and 26. Set the puzzle aside for the night. I've seen the trick underlying 24 numerous times, but it still occasionally snares me. :-)

Figured out 12 and 24 while dropping off to sleep. Resumed this morning and it still took some time before the penny dropped on 26.

Thanks to Everyman for good cluing and an unusual challenge. Won't quibble about "eye rhyming" pair, as I've seen that device in prior numbers.

I gave up on 24 so used the quick solve too. Very frustrating, talk about the answer being right in front of us all the time!

However the good thing is that whilst trying to work out the answer using Google I now know what Regnal numbers are! :)
