"...meeting Tony Blair is nothing remotely like meeting an American president or even like meeting Margaret Thatcher in her glory days. His entourage was surprisingly modest, largely female, and not at all intimidating : They really do call him Tony."

An entourage is the group following and attending to some important person.
If you thought this word looked French, you were right, it comes from entourer, to surround, from Old French entour, surroundings - first appearance in English in 1834, and still quite popular today.
Some synonyms are: cortege, retinue, suite
