It wasn't knighthoods in the late 60s, it was MBEs, altogether a much more lowly award. In pecking order: MBE < OBE < CBE < Knighthood. Hardly anybody gets knighted, but MBEs can get awarded to just about anybody.
John Lennon later returned his MBE citing some spurious reason, but most probably because he thought he should have been awarded something more important.
