Rest in peace

Two cryptic crossword clues I enjoyed this week. The first is from one of Tim Morey's regular puzzles in The Week  and the second  from The Times:

In which shameful operations may be seen (6, 2, 10)

A sentiment for those who died on Scott's last journey (4)

The surprising anagram in Tim Morey's clue makes a wry comment on the current state of our politics. A hint for the second clue is that "Scott's last" is the letter 't'.

Two creative men of letters from the world of arts and entertainment died this week. RIP Clive James and Jonathan Miller.
