This is a comparatively minor point in the grand scheme of things, but...
When addressing a knight/dame formally, the person's given name follows the
title, not the surname.
So technically one would refer to "Sir Ivor", or "Sir Ivor Noel Hume", but
_never_ "Sir Noel Hume" (similarly "Dame Judi", not "Dame Dench")
It's only if someone has a title (whether life or hereditary peerage) that the
title goes in front of the surname. So you could have - hypothetically - Lord
Noel Hume of Martin's Hundred.
Not that I expect anyone to lose any sleep over this...

Hello, Histarchers:
I just got an email from somebody working on a documentary
and they want
to contact Sir Noel Hume. I haven't corresponded with him
since the Web
of Time site was taken down. Does any one have an email
address/contact
information for him these days?
