Non Commonwealth Citizens are not allowed to use the 'sir' . They just have KBE after their name. So he would be Jesus Christ KBE

BBC News article

Quote

An online petition calling for the government to posthumously pardon Alan Turing and quash his conviction for gross indecency has been launched. The gay computer pioneer was convicted of the offence in 1952, when homosexuality was illegal in the UK. Two years later, he died from cyanide poisoning, which an inquest ruled was suicide. The e-petition said his treatment and death "remains a shame on the UK government and UK history".
