I had that problem too, nuncio. Just cracked it. In 4d only the first letter is an initial, and it’s the one you presently have as your last.

Stick with the H ! I'm only just starting but those are two I have managed !

4D is not Bros. I went down that track!

I'm with you, ChrisE, intensely irritated by having this type of puzzle foisted on us on the pretext that it's a British Bank Holiday!! I shan't even bother. Congratulations on your Golden Wedding.

I’mnother who went wrong with 4d initially.

I found once I had the theme the unnumbered clues unravelled without too much difficulty (some did require google confirmation).

Congratulations Chris, hope you enjoy the party!

Totally agree.
Whenever we have a Bank Holiday we get this sort of puzzle instead of a normal cryptic and I ignore them.

I appreciate it is one of the unnumbered clues (of which I only have one so far) but my 23a has an odd combination of last four letters. My crossers seem right.

Thanks for 4D.
And, how rude of me, hello all from a long time lurker, first time poster.

Rocky. I too have an odd combination of last four letters but they are not forced to be one word. I can think of a couple of words that would fit.

Congratulations, Chris. Hope you have a special day.

I'm another BROS so thanks for the tipoff.

I don't mind Bank Holiday Specials, in fact I used to savour Araucaria's. I just find Maskarade's a bit joyless and don't always bother with them.
