Cryptic crossword No 2,523

Thanks Skirwingle - this was brilliant, and a very well worked homage. So much to enjoy, including 13a, 19d for its first half, 25d, 28a. Thanks again

Very good, Dave! I twigged the theme reasonably early with a few lucky entries plus some knowledge from social media 😆 11a was fabulously misleading (to this idiot anyway) as was 20a with its German settler, and 28a, 29a, 5d, 21d and 25a. Minor note in reply -> Thanks!
