Eggcup - up for the one rising. Egg as in egg on one's face. Gong i a slang word which is related to getting egg on one's face, but I think the wording is week.

OOps - weak

Christiana

Prior in the sense of before. Ere is an old form of before, but haven't worked out the prelate bit yet

TCL-MUMPING

For eggcup, you can say "for one" to mean an example of something and that in turn can be "e.g." The George Cross is an award or a "gong" and the rising gives "up." Put them all together and you get e.g.GCup or EGGCUP.

Thank you both.

Bit of a stinker today methinks. Please put the title of the crossword as, eg, Times crossword 24,245, rather than just "explanations please". This enables those with the paper to identify , just as giving number of letters and any available letters enables those without to enjoy solving and helping.
