Quick Cryptic no 2781 by Wurm

Another puzzle by Wurm to enjoy, and (trigger alert) again he is making full use of the new freedom to reference living people.

This gentle puzzle detained me for no more than 40 minutes including nailing down all the wordplay.

A good puzzle to do over lunch I found. My favourite was 9ac.
