Genuine question to other journalists and BBC News. When did the house style change on second mentions for knights of the realm? I have just read a BBC News story on Sir Jim Ratcliffe in which he is referred to subsequently as "Sir Jim" and not "Ratcliffe".

It does improve the more you watch it! Kudos for continuing to post on here to @rpbloodstock.bsky.social and an honourable mention also to @seenthestars.bsky.social If only other departments/journalists at the paper would follow suit to help those of us trying to keep a racing presence going here.
