Heavenly messenger (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angel

'heavenly messenger' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "Glean (anag.)" , "somewhere in Islington" , "Sponsor" , "Cloud resident?" , "Spiritual being - financial backer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, The Irish Times, the Evening Standard, The Mirror and the Newsday.
