I suspect this is another trick question. Did not the pallbearer at Margaret Thatvcher's funeral actually Not wear white gloves? Is that what The Queen was remarking upon?
The answer is simple.
This is no 1 Dress uniform for Tom (Royal Navy) who is only 22 yr old & the wearing of gloves is not part of it.
You will also notice that the Guardsman was also not wearing gloves this is because the Guards under the rank Full Sergeant do not wear white gloves as part of their Ceremonial Dress.
I think the whole bearer party did a fantastic job on the day particular Tom, but I guess I would say that as a proud Uncle!!

What is the origin of pallbearers wearing white gloves?
In tradition, being a pallbearer was considered to be an honourable position and was extremely common before the use of wheeled carriages to carry caskets off in Europe. Pallbearests wore white gloves and special boutonnieres simply to signify their significance in carrying the casket, especially because they were usually chosen from family members. The white nature of the glove is likely linked symbolically to the white clothing worn during baptisms. This symbolism during the introductory rites of a funeral service are done so to signify the death and rebirth of a person during a baptism - and ties the two occasions in the life of symbolically, since most pallbearings occur at Catholic or Lutheran ceremonies.
