Delish, slang for delicious. LED rev + I + SH (wrap up, be quiet)

Many thanks, Quisling - I considered "delish" but couldn't parse it. That was a very sneaky clue!

Happy to help, rocketman. I was always told to “wrap up” as a child. Not heard it since

I've also got one I can't parse:

43D Speech embraced by a British naval commander? (7)

O _ A _ I _ N

I'm presuming it must be ORATION (which is a speech) but as for the rest of the clue I'm at a loss. Can anyone else explain it?

Oh! And I'd thought of Nelson too... but not Horatio. A very clever clue. Thank you Jono.

You’re welcome Bilbow,
I’m reminded of a joke…

Nelson in his life time was only five feet tall, his statue in London is fifteen feet tall, that’s “Horatio” … of three to one

Gets coat

Groan! That's enough Horatios for one day I think!
