Location for personal decoration displaying British honourees (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earlobe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'location' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'personal decoration displaying british honourees' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'decoration' could be 'obe' (Order of the British Empire award) and 'obe' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'earl' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for earlobe that I've seen before include "Flap on the side of the head" , "Part of body" , "Often-pierced flap" , "low part of organ" , "that could have a ring to it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
