Just a matter of days for P G Wodehouse
Within days of being granted his knighthood P.G. Wodehouse was admitted into Long Island's Southhampton Hospital. ... It was here that he died on 14th February 1975 - according to http://www.infobritai...graphy_And_Visits.htm

The link above says that Wodehouse did not attend the investiture, his wife represented him.

Dusty Springfield didn't get a knighthood, or even a Damehood, but Prince Charles visited her in hospital to give her her OBE. She died before the date she was due to attend her awards ceremony.
