Like Rayfolwell I wondered if it was a Ronnie Barker anniversary, but couldn’t find anything appropriate on Google.
I thought “movingly” in 32 was just the anagram indicator.

I wondered if today was a Ronnie Barker anniversary of some sort.
It may just be a coincidence, but the first episode of “The Navy Lark” was broadcast on 29th March 1959. This was the show where Ronnie Barker first became established as a comic. However there are no Navy Lark references in the puzzle.
