Cryptic crossword No 2,100

And here I am again, more than making up for my tardiness! I enjoyed the other one so thought I'd take a look at this. Equally good, I'd say. Same overall observation - fairly succinct clues telling credible stories. Faves in this one: 1a, 10a, 11a, 19a (COTD!), 22a, 26a, 2d, 3d, 5d, 18d which made me laugh and taught me something and 23d. Thanks. PM
