Paid tribute to (7)

I think it could be either:

saluted

honored

(Other definitions for saluted that I've seen before include "Acknowledged" , "Due last (anag.)" , "Kissed" , "Greeted or honoured" , "Recognised with a gesture" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Guardian.
