According to the people who write the interweb, neither.

In ceremony of knighting, the knight-elect kneels on a knighting-stool in front of The Queen, who then lays the sword blade on the knight's right and then left shoulder. After he has been dubbed, the new knight stands up, and The Queen invests the knight with the insignia of the Order to which he has been appointed, or the Badge of a Knight Bachelor.

Contrary to popular belief, the words 'Arise, Sir ...' are not used.

what they don't show is the back room ritual. the queen spits in the recipient's mouth and says... Your mine now, you nonce. Who's the mammy? say my name.

They do that standing on one leg with their trousers rolled up.
