I believe the answer is:

honorary

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

'promoting 11 as a mark of respect' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'yoko hugged by harry' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'yoko' could be 'ono' (yoko ono) and 'ono' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'harry' is 'hrary' which is within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for honorary that I've seen before include "(Of an office holder) unpaid" , "(Of title or office) not requiring one to perform services" , "Unpaid position or unearned degree" , "producing no income" , "In name only" .)
