Assertion
Stewart was knighted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on June 2, 2010, after being named in the New Year Honours; he credited his English teacher Cecil Dormand with starting his acting career.
Quote
Sir Patrick said his knighthood - announced in the New Year Honours List - had been "an unlooked-for honour". … "He was the one that put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand [and] said, 'Now get up on your feet and perform'."
