Hi fellow puzzlers,

Hope you can help with my cryptic quandary.

24a Time the queen took centre stage (3). I have EST but this intersects
with the T in this answer and the clue to this answer is:-
25d Current commotion surrounding District Attorney housing (13) I think
answer is ACCOMMODATION, this word works with all the other
across clues of:-
30a the French in car? That's obvious. (5) = CLEAR
36a Trump not in party (5)= OUTDO
43a Medium lends a hand to hotel cleaners (5) = MAIDS
46a Drop around love to get sink (5) = D?O?P
53a Liking state of confusion (5) = TASTE
60a Overlooks ring Tims reshaping (5) = OMITS
37d They have fitting occupations (7) = TAILORS
47d Cunningly repress rental agreements and statements to
newspapers (5,8) = PRESS RELEASES

Hope I have given enough info without going into every across word.
Thanks smithy

Thanks Canoe 3154

I had worked out droop ( it was the only word my spell check could some up with) but could not make any sense of it, guess my mind was just not on the right track.
Didn't get the queen thing, it also was bleeding obvious.

Thank you so much
