It is customary to always include a knight's first name. You should refer to him as one of the following:

informal: "Sir Tim"

more formally: Sir Timothy Berners-Lee

or really, really formally (like for the title of his eptitath): Timothy Berners-Lee, Sir, Knight of the Garter

I've assumed that Tim's reall name is actually Timothy, but I may be wrong. Titled Brittans have always used their first name, such as King Henry (all of them), Queen Elizabeth (I and II), Princess Dianna, Prince Charles, etc. Danged if I know why they use Roman numerals though.

The order of the Garter was established by Edward III in 1348, of course Edward made himself the first Knight.
