Flags at Bush- Blair press conference (Very Trivial!)

Lots of "Stars and Stripes" and Union Jacks in evidence on the stage today. All of them on poles with golden eagles on the top. I know that the crown is a bit non grata in Northern Ireland today, but I felt that was going a bit too far. Do these eagles symbolise our new status (51st State etc.) or were they just provided by Uxbridge.
