Stuck on the following last two in:

2d "Fury of a college teacher being cut short" (6)

I?E???

11a "Stone that covers a stick (4,2)

???Y ??

Any help much appreciated

2d Alecto (Fury ....greek myth)
11a stay on

1a is cAmber

Thanks bunty. I'd mistakenly put TIMBER for post in 1a instead of seeing bank as the definition; but even if I'd seen it was CAMBER my knowledge of Greek myth would still not have stretched to getting that fury.

How does stay on for 11a parse, please? Also, 6d Doctor, a gloomy type, and 27a Union with Diana in royal family. I think the answers are Moper and Tudors but, apart from Tudors being a royal family, can't parse them?

TU = trade union and Diana Doors presumably

*Diana Dors so it makes even more sense.

Doctor is MO and “a” can be PER

Stone is ST and “that” can be YON

What a poor c;lue 27 A is! Diana Dors has been dead for almost 40 years and I don't know if there was ever a point where the mention of 'Diana' made people immediately think of her.

Thanks, paradigmshifter and candledave.
