Meanwhile, eight badminton players have been disqualified over their conduct, the Badminton World Federation says.
Glover and Stanning made history by becoming the first British women to take an Olympic rowing gold.
Speaking during a visit to Northern Ireland, Mr Cameron said it was a "great success for the United Kingdom team".

Earlier, London Games' organiser Locog confirmed it would not refund tickets for the badminton matches.
Speaking at a press conference, Olympics chief Lord Coe said the scandal, which saw eight female players apparently attempt to lose, was bad news for the Games: "The sadness of it is I was actually at badminton yesterday afternoon and I saw some... I saw a British competitor narrowly fail to progress, but the games were incredibly competitive in front of really large, enthusiastic audiences.

"I know the badminton federation really well. They will take that really seriously... it is unacceptable."

Spectators booed the two matches played at Wembley Arena on Tuesday, while some voluteers were in tears.
China's Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli and South Koreans Jung Kyung-eun and Kim Ha-na, were among those facing charges from the Badminton World Federation.
Both pairs were already through to the quarter-finals. Reports have suggested they both wanted to lose to secure an easier draw. An Indonesian pair were also involved.
Responding to news of the charges, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "It's a matter for the sporting federation to decide that, but I feel very, very disappointed for the crowds who were going along expecting to have a fantastic time watching the best sport in the world and I think they have a right to feel very, very let down by what happened." copy : http://www.bbc.co.uk
