14a; Did you miss an "s" off the end of wedding, John?
"Window dressing" is correct, but is an anagram of "now sir weddingS" - possibly??

16a: anagram of "fans boo lots ale"
2d: anagram of "consoling editor"

8d; Could it be "safe pair of hands"?
The first definition seems straightforward - is the rest a cricket reference by any chance?

Good Morning,

I am so sorry to all ,I did miss an S of "weddings",Might help if I submitted the correct letters in the clue.

I can now see the anagrams.

Many thanks to you both and to elle for highlighting my error.
