Answers to that last lot of clues ...
1) Following Albert to the side (7) = LATERAL
Following = LATER + Albert = AL
2) Romeo left weird herbalists’ institute (9) = ESTABLISH
Romeo= R. Remove R from herbalists, and jumble up these letters (indicated by weird). Institute, the definition, is a verb, not a noun.
3) Greek character is against red Italian wine (7) = CHIANTI
Greek character = CHI + is against = ANTI
4) Flower occurs randomly (6) = CROCUS
Anagram of occurs
5) Beyond a minor role (5) = EXTRA
Double definition clue, beyond what you need is extra, and an extra is someone who plays a minor role in a drama.
6) Clever and dynamic mediator heads off (6) = ADROIT
Anagram with a deletion. Take the heads off the word mediator = DIATOR. Jumbled them up (in a dynamic) way, to get the answer!
How did you get on?
