Congratulations to Sir Nicholas for his heroic work & for still being with us to receive this honor, not to mention his humble regard for keeping his accomplishments secret.
No mention in Wiki or anywhere of when he was knighted, unless becoming Member of the O.B.E. conferred that title.

Anybody who is interested in the story of Sir Nicholas Winton MBE,
needs to watch this short video at YouTube. It is one of the most moving and touching things I have ever seen and is an incredible tribute to the man.
Sir Nicholas Winton - BBC Programme "That's Life" aired in 1988
It begins with him meeting one of the people he saved after more than forty years - and just gets better from there.
What Sir Nicholas did - and a lot of others as well - must never be forgotten.
