Tributes to be getting on entering Syrian city (7)
I believe the answer is:
homages
'tributes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'be getting on entering syrian city' is the wordplay.
'be getting on' becomes 'age' (getting on can mean getting older).
'entering' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'syrian city' becomes 'Homs' (Homs is a city in Syria).
'age' put inside 'homs' is 'HOMAGES'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for homages that I've seen before include "Pays deference to" , "Expressions of respect or veneration" .)
