The winners this week, which I found particularly tough to separate, are:

BRONZE: For the neatness of the clue from John Ridge, Clitheroe: Leaf-insect display (7) PAGEANT

SILVER: Adrian (no surname given) from London offers a touch of the offbeat with: Da da da dum - H! (10,5) BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH

Great stuff. Many thanks for your continued playing of the game!

All the best,
