Sir?[edit]

The only references I can find to "Sir Antony Hopkins" are (too many) mis-spellings of the actor. Various death notices, including the BBC's, mention only his (the composer's) CBE. Unless somebody shouts, I'll delete the "Sir" from the article. [Thinks: how did it get there in the first place?] Wyresider (talk) 17:43, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above, I have now read Hopkins's obituaries in The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent and The Scotsman, and on the RCM web site. They all mention his CBE, and none of them mention a knighthood (or a baronetcy), and none of them refer to "Sir Antony". This article appears to be the only place on the web that has him as Sir Antony. I'll delete it before everyone copies it and cites Wikipedia! Wyresider (talk) 22:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

nationality[edit]

Doesn't the general outline of biographical pages like this include the nationality in the first line? Like, "Antony Hopkins was an English composer"?
