Gallery termination is a blessing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

godsend

'a blessing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gallery termination' is the wordplay.
'gallery' becomes 'gods' (I've seen this before).
'termination' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'gods'+'end'='GODSEND'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for godsend that I've seen before include "Welcome good fortune" , "Very opportune thing" , "The relief" , "Something unexpected but welcome" , "Very helpful thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
