Pay homage to former queen always being recalled (6)
I believe the answer is:
revere
'pay homage to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'former queen always being recalled' is the wordplay.
'former queen' becomes 'ER' (Elizabeth Regina, ie Queen Elizabeth).
'always' becomes 'ever' (synonyms).
'being recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'er'+'ever'='erever'
'erever' in reverse letter order is 'REVERE'.
(Other definitions for revere that I've seen before include "Look up to - American patriot, d. 1818" , "Hold in great respect" , "Idolise, worship" , "Venerate, adore" , "Hold in high respect" .)
