Her husband
Stanley Baker was awarded a knighthood in
Harold Wilson's resignation
Honour's List in June 1976. At the time his knighthood was announced,
Baker had apparently beaten his lung cancer following surgery, but
three weeks later was hospitalized in Spain with pneumonia. As he had
died without making the journey to be formally knighted at Buckingham
Palace, he cannot be referred to as Sir Stanley, but the Queen (
Queen Elizabeth II
agreed that his widow, Ellen Martin, could use the title "Lady Baker".
