Patriots withdrawing singular honour for Hollywood legend? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
stan laurel
'hollywood legend?' is the definition.
'patriots withdrawing singular honour' is the wordplay.
'patriots' becomes 'nats' (term for a member of eg Scottish National Party).
'withdrawing' says the letters should be written backwards.
'singular honour' becomes 'laurel' (more commonly used in the form 'laurels').
'nats' reversed gives 'stan'.
'stan'+'laurel'='STAN LAUREL'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for stan laurel that I've seen before include "US comedian, b. Ulverston (Cumbria) 1890, d. 1965" , "Old comedian" .)
