Heavenly beings (6)

I believe the answer is:

angels

'heavenly beings' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for angels that I've seen before include "Financial backers, esp theatrical" , "Charlie's - - (TV)" , "Heavenly beings" , "Thrones maybe" , "Winged heavenly messengers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), the Wall Street Journal, The Times, the New York Times, the Newsday.com, The Independent and the Universal.
