Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right forum for the question, sorry mods if it's not, I'm new to these boards.
I'm sure people have all seen the pics of Lt(N) Saunders' funeral. If not, here's a link to a pic from the Post:

My question is: Why are Officers carrying the coffin?
Isn't that the job for Senior NCO's? Coffin carrying has been a job for Senior NCOs since we were british. Even the Queen Mother had her coffin carried by Senior NCOs.
I guess another question is should those officers be wearing white belts?
Anybody have any ideas?
